Mama's Fair trade and Organic Coffees:

Mama carries a large variety of African coffees as well as many flavored coffees.

Two things make Mama's coffees the best you'll ever have: One, your coffee is roasted upon order; thus giving you the best flavor you can imagine! We only sell freshly roasted whole bean coffee... its the only way to give excellent African coffee the treatment it deserves ;-) And two, you can enjoy your coffee knowing that each cup you drink is helping African women and their families to live better lives. Great quality beans, roasted to perfection and fair trade principles... whats not to enjoy?

Simple sizes for your convenience: 1/2 or full pound bags starting at just $7.00

Why shop at MamaAfrika.com?

We are dedicated to the following principles:

  • Fair trade products, many of which are also organic;
  • Excellent quality art, handcrafts, gifts and food items;
  • Education about Africa, Africans and the issues that are facing the African continent;
  • 10% of all sales proceeds are donated to helping Africans help themselves through small-scale development, environmental and educational projects run, managed and supervised by African people.
  • Environmentally respectful products and packaging.
   
All orders receive: Your order will include a letter which tells the country of origin and the history of the type of art you order. So, if its a gift you are offering, you'll be able to give more than just another object. Mama Afrika always strives to maintain the link between the producer and the receive. You aren't just buying an object; but a piece of Africa I love so much.

International clients:

American customers or anyone who wants their items shipped to the continental US (not Alaska or Hawaii) or to APO/FPO addresses can continue to order as usual and shipping will be calculated during the checkout process.

Due to a significant increase in international shipping charges we are forced to charge actual shipping costs on all international orders. Please contact Mama Afrika if you would like to know what those charges will be. We are trying to keep them to a minimum; so they will be based on the size and weight of the items ordered.

In order to make the ordering process simpler, we recommend that you contact us BEFORE ordering. We will send you the shipping charges in a seperate email. If the additional cost is acceptable to you, you can then place your order normally and we will follow up with a seperate bill for the additional shipping.
