Vermiculture
Our vermiculture practices involve the use of earthworms to further enhance soil fertility, promoting healthy coffee plant growth. These practices not only result in superior coffee beans but also contribute to the preservation of our natural ecosystem.
Kiqwetu Coffee also prioritizes water recycling, ensuring that this precious resource is conserved and utilized efficiently throughout our coffee cultivation process.
