About Us
A farm, a roastery, and everything in between.
Kontch's E&E grows coffee on family farms in Cameroon and roasts it in Switzerland, end to end, without letting go of the bean.
Coffee Culture
We take each location as it is.
We plant, grow, harvest, dry and store your delighted unique coffee. Within our farms we grow various species of both Arabica coffee, known for its natural flavour, and Robusta coffee, known for its strength.
We take each location as it is, with its advantages and natural habitats, which translates to authentic flavours. By giving special attention to our coffee plants all year round, we target bringing you every year a treasured Millesimal Coffee, an Excellent & Exclusive coffee.
Flavour Culture
It started with biology, and a love of unusual tastes.
Our founder's fascination with flavour extraction began during biology studies at university. That passion, combined with a love of cooking and unusual tastes, led to Kontch's E&E using biology expertise to combine flavours and create unique tailor-made coffee.
We focus on combining fruits and spices from both Cameroon, our country of origin, and Switzerland, our country of adoption, all grown organically on the farms and villages, following seasonal availability. Products are picked at full maturity and processed with a meticulous watering process to harvest their full nuance.
Social Responsibility
