MANSA MARKET

Kawa Moka is a women-owned, black-led company with a mission rooted in sustainability and social responsibility. Our journey begins in the heart of Ghana, where every step of our coffee production, from seedling to roast, is meticulously cultivated. We take pride in being a socially conscious brand, working closely with women farmers to produce exceptional, sustainable, and ethically made specialty coffee.

​

The Origin of Kawa Moka
Our brand name, Kawa Moka, reflects our connection to Ghana's rich history with cacao and the iconic coffee seaport city, Moka, in Yemen. We bring the story of coffee back to its African roots, celebrating the flavors and heritage of Ghana.
