Powerful Coffee. Powerful Impact.

About us

POWERFUL COFFEE = POWERFUL IMPACT We make deliciously strong coffee with a kick! Blue Turaco is the first coffee brand in the UK that is owned by an African farmer; we’re proud of that. And even prouder of our Robusta coffee; it’s strong, smooth and naturally contains double the caffeine of Arabica – quite the kick-start to your day. Blue Turaco founder, Wycliffe, is a coffee farmer. He picked coffee beans as a boy to pay for his school fees so he knows how growing quality coffee improves livelihoods in farming communities. We bring you 100% specialty Robusta, sourced directly from Ugandan smallholder farmers including our own. And 20p from every pack provides two school lunches, helping fight hunger in Ugandan village schools. Our vision is to create a model where coffee truly pays in farming communities. Let’s go!

    What if everything we were told about coffee was wrong? 👀 Here’s one thing that’s wrong ⬇️ That one coffee species is better than another. We are talking of course, about Arabica and Robusta - cousins. Arabica has been celebrated and developed for our specialty coffee market. Robusta has been overlooked - grown at scale and hidden away in blends. People call it “bitter.” But we don’t say oranges 🍊 are better than apples🍎. Or that white wine is better than red. We each have our qualities. And we know that when we’re treated right, our best qualities can come through - full potential realised! We are championing 100% specialty Ugandan Robsuta. We have treated it very nicely… and it tastes very “smooth.” Everyone who came to try it at Ocado Retail Supplier conference this week used that word to describe it. Robusta is happy with that 😊 Today Wycliffe Sande will be talking all things robusta at Bristol Coffee Festival. Let’s go! 💙 #robusta #specialtycoffee #bristolcoffeefestival #uganda

    📣 How many hours does it take to secure investment?! We'll tell you! A message from Wycliffe: "Today, I’m beyond excited to announce that we have secured investment for Blue Turaco Coffee, closing a round of £250,000. It has taken us 7,704 hours, 45 weeks, and 319 days. 😅 It has been a long and hard journey; raising funds often is, especially for those who look like me and with background like mine. But it is my belief that through hard work and resilience, and the support of incredible revolutionaries, we are changing this for the better. My team has been working tirelessly to support me, and I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to Rosie Long (Baulcombe), Richard Kieswick, Sofia Buttarazzi, Gemma Clarkson, and many others who have been key behind the scenes. 🙏 And all of you, who read our emails, see our posts, like them, and comment on them, amplifying our voice - you are supporting this revolution, and I am grateful. I can finally feel the building blocks falling into place. The ongoing journey is long, and will continue to be hard because our ambition and vision is immense. Blue Turaco coffee is not just a coffee brand - we are championing Specialty Robusta from Uganda; a coffee species that has been overlooked for decades along with the smallholder farmers who grow it. 💪 That’s revolutionary!" What this means for Blue Turaco Coffee... These funds will help us get Blue Turaco Coffee onto more shelves in the UK’s leading retailers, they will help us to grow our team and to get more specialty ugandan robusta into the hands of coffee drinkers. It means the world to us have you on this journey with us! THANK YOU 🙏 And... Let’s go! 💙 #robusta #specialtycoffee #coffee #smallbusiness #fundraising #seis

    Yesterday, no coffee was picked. A road, was made!

    View profile for Wycliffe Sande, graphic

    Founder at Blue Turaco Coffee - Championing Ugandan Specialty Robusta: Making coffee accessible, empowering small-holder coffee farmers, and fighting childhood hunger through coffee and wildlife safaris

    It indeed takes a whole village to renovate a road 😜😉 Yesterday, the entire village paused work in their coffee gardens to focus on renovating the road. Here’s a photo of the freshly renovated road in jungwe. This village, just outside Mityana, is home to 300 families. It’s also one of the places where I grow BLUE TURACO COFFEE and buy lots more too. In the world of business, investing time in a village road might not seem like it has a clear return. But for me and my team , this is partly what coffee growing is all about—creating social and economic impact and building long lasting relationships. We continue to do what’s right for our communities, even when others might not see the direct value. Our smallholder farmers see the value. And it helps them understand the benefits of producing high-quality Robusta coffees. Don’t do it because it looks good. Do it because it’s the right thing to do. Lets connect Wycliffe Sande #community #startup #selfhelp #coffee #robustacofffee #impact
