— Zambia —
We are obsessed with naturally fermented African beans, and we've unlocked flavours out of this Zambian coffee that are different from the more ubiquitous Ethiopian and Kenyan coffees. Kateshi Estate is Rainforest Alliance, 4C and UTZ certified.
We've procured this crop two seasons in a row because it results in such a sweet and juicy cup, likely from the nutrient-rich, ancient volcanic soils of this region. We love these beans so much that we will be releasing multiple ways to try them! Stay tuned!

House of Funk Brewing Co.
House of Funk was created to challenge the status quo, cultivating an environment of experimentation with a devotion to quality. Our small batch systems allow us to push boundaries and experiment with brews, meaning we're able to serve up fresh and unique flavours more frequently.
In the brewery, every single brew must spend time fermenting or conditioning in wood, or be subjected to an onslaught of wild yeast, souring bacteria and other funky micro-organisms.
House of Funk Roasting Co.
In the roastery, we're continually developing funky flavour profiles by tailoring our degree of roast to highlight the nuances of every origin.
It is important to us that we only procure traceable green from farms that align with our own values of sustainability and community. We want to help grow the economies for the people of the regions which are less developed.
We strive to push people's palates beyond what they expect from coffee. Acidity is not a crime.
