Why Vargar

Certified organic

Grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilisers, on volcanic highland soil that gives the beans their natural sweetness.

Every bag traces back to the same smallholder cooperatives in Huambo and Bié — no blending, no anonymity.

Direct trade

We pay growers a premium above commodity price and reinvest in their communities and land.

Roasted fresh, shipped fast

Small-batch roasted after you order and shipped within days across the Netherlands, UK and Portugal.

Our story

Reviving a coffee heritage

1975

Before 1975, Angola was among the largest coffee producers in the world — its highland plantations once rivalled Brazil and Colombia. Decades of conflict all but erased that legacy, and the forests reclaimed the terraces.

Today

Today, a new generation of smallholder farmers in the Angolan planalto — the volcanic-soil highlands around Huambo and Bié — is bringing those trees back to life, one hectare at a time.

Vargar

Vargar was founded to give this coffee a direct route to European tables: we buy straight from cooperatives at a fair, transparent price, ship the green beans to Europe, and roast in small batches so every bag arrives at peak flavour.

Huambo highlands, Angola

Grown to give back

Organic farming isn't a certification to us — it's how these highlands have always grown coffee, under shade trees and without chemical inputs. We pay above market price, support replanting of heirloom Arabica trees, and invest a share of every sale into cooperative-run schools.

  • 100% organic, shade-grown cultivation
  • Fair, transparent pricing paid directly to cooperatives
  • Reforestation of heirloom coffee terraces
  • Recyclable, compostable packaging

Willem H. · Amsterdam, NL
“Beautifully packaged, arrived within three days, and the story on the label alone made it a talking point at our dinner party.”
Sophie L. · London, UK
“Finalmente um café de origem única que conta uma história — e sabe ainda melhor do que promete.”
Miguel A. · Porto, PT
