OUR STORY
It all started with a coffee bean… Passionate about farming, the Kwazulu Natal, South Coast and, in particular, coffee! Mpenjati Coffee started with a timber farmer looking out over the Mpenjati River with a handful of coffee tree seeds and a dream.
Mpenjati Coffee's founders, Des and Leigh Wichmann's dream became a reality when the seeds were planted, the trees thrived and the result surpassed even their own expectations and the Mpenjati Coffee brand was born!
Today Mpenjati thrives , home to a Roastery, Coffee Shop, Farm Stall and newly added Simply Macnificent Belgian Chocolate coated macadamias and roasted coffee . They also conduct Coffee Process Tours and private events.
At Mpenjati Coffee we value the simple things that make a great product in order to produce outstanding premium coffee.
Come and taste the difference that our passion and expertise make to every cup of Mpenjati Coffee.
