  • We assist coffee farmers in their production
    process by providing agricultural
    consultancy expertise
  • We provide carefully roasted and properly
    packaged high-quality coffee (whole beans or
    ground)
  • We equip bars/restaurants/hotels in the East Africa region with commercial coffee
    machines and offer technical training for baristas

our mission

Our team, led by founders Diane NSENGIYUMVA FABIANI and Andrea FABIANI, agronomic engineers, is fully dedicated to promote Burundi coffees and contribute to the growth of the Kayanza Province coffee industry.

Our focus is primarily directed towards sourcing and marketing quality coffee in order to increase revenues for the producers, too often weakened by their precarious position.

Our vISION

Here at SHAMBA, we believe sustainable  development is the key to a healthy coffee industry. Consequently, we are constantly trying to increase our positive impact through social initiatives (education of farmers through agricultural expertise, promotion of equity…) and environmental actions (best practices, circular economy…) in our day-to-day operations.
