As part of Nespresso ’s AAA Sustainable Quality Program , we promote sustainable livelihoods in coffee-growing regions, while fostering conditions to improve yields and help protect the environment. This includes empowering farmers with the support of the Rainforest Alliance and offering farmers better prices, premiums and diversification.

Your daily cup of coffee can have an extraordinary impact and ripple effect.

Our long-term Reviving Origins program is breathing new life into coffee regions around the world that have been affected by conflict, economic hardships, social unrest or environmental turmoil. As a key part of our AAA Sustainable Quality Program, we are working within these communities alongside coffee farmers, NGOs and the region’s government to recover and rejuvenate some of the finest, rarest, and best-tasting coffees.

Nespresso is committed to working with local coffee farmers to establish sustainable farming practices, bringing in expert trainers and introducing new techniques to tackle issues such as coffee processing and tree management. The farmers, in turn, are rediscovering the cultivation of coffee as a crucial source of both their livelihoods and their heritage. The impact the program is having on these communities is significant, with economies boosted and a traditional passion for coffee reignited. All of which elevates the exquisite taste of Nespresso Reviving Origins coffee all the more.

Our Countries of Origin

Uganda

Despite a troubled history that damaged crops, farmers in Uganda are once again cultivating and crafting delicious and unique coffee of the land. We work hand-in-hand with the Ugandan community to care for the natural environment in this region to bring a deep-rooted coffee heritage back to life.

Amaha awe Uganda is grown sustainably in the Rwenzori mountains, making for a rich espresso with a wild character that carries both rare sandalwood notes and elegant florals. With milk, it's balanced and sweet with biscuit and fruity notes.

Cuba

Even with coffee production declining on the back end of economic and political instability, passion for coffee reigns supreme in Cuba. The Reviving Origins program has helped reignite this fervour, and farmers in Cuba are again able to grow a coffee full of character.

Feel the rhythms of authentic Cuban culture with the powerful smoky notes of wood and tobacco leaves of Café de Cuba. With milk, delight in roasted, peanut and bready notes with a deliciously lingering aftertaste.

Colombia

Coffee almost disappeared in the region of Caqueta, Colombia following 50 years of conflict, causing many farmers to abandon their lands. Now, coffee isn’t the only thing thriving here – hope for a better future is growing too. Our joint effort with local farmers has resulted in Esperanza de Colombia – a rich and balanced Arabica with aromas of yellow fruits and a hint of a cereal note.

With milk, indulge in a sweet, caramelised and roasted character with a taste of plums and dates.

Democratic Republic of the Congo

Years of continued conflict and political instability left many plantations in the Democratic Republic of the Congo abandoned, with small farms tapping only a fraction of the region’s potential for specialty coffee. Through the program and support of the coffee communities, Nespresso has delivered the first organic coffee in our Reviving Origins range. The smoothness of Kahawa ya Congo comes from the fertile terroir of Lake Kivu in Eastern Congo, resulting in mild fruity and sweet cereal aromas.

Enjoy this one with milk to draw out delicate biscuit notes and enhance its balance.

Kahawa ya Congo will not return this year.

Puerto Rico

The hurricanes that made landfall in Puerto Rico in 2017 were truly devastating for coffee regions in the US territory, many of which were already in need of help.

We have been working with local farmers to resurrect coffee-growing culture on the Caribbean island and the result, Cafécito de Puerto Rico, is an intense and creamy espresso with notes of dark cocoa, pepper and brown spice.

Cafécito de Puerto Rico will not return this year.

Zimbabwe

irregularities and economic instability – coffee artists and coffee lovers come together to help their dreamland of high mountains and cool temperatures flourish once more, bringing a treasured coffee back to life.

Tamuka mu Zimbabwe is bursting with bright acidity and complex berry and grape notes. It’s a smooth and creamy cup with milk, taking on sweet notes of caramel and toffee. Supply is still limited, but it’s a sign of more to come.

Tamuka mu Zimbabwe will not return this year.
