The Kibingo washing station is located in the Kayanza highlands of northern Burundi, close to the Congo-Nile Crest. It was founded in 1986 and is one of the older stations in the area. Coffee delivered to the mill is selectively handpicked by local smallholders; Kibingo serves a total of 1,739 coffee growers spread over 18 hills in the area at altitudes ranging from 1700-1900 m.a.t.s. Most families only have between 200 to 250 trees,
"Burundi was a new origin for Amokka when we first purchased coffee from Kibingo. We were drawn to its distinct taste of place. We liked it so much the first time that we decided to return to it for a second year.
What we love about Kibingo is its sweet, round, and balanced profile. It has a light fruitiness, a clear brightness, and those distinct African touches that make the cup feel lively without becoming too sharp. We find notes of apple and rhubarb, with a soft blueberry-like finish. For us, it is already a favourite: elegant, juicy, and really delicious."

Gitega Hills Washing Station is located in Nyamagabe District in southern Rwanda, close to Nyungwe Forest and the highlands surrounding one of the traced sources of the Nile. The station is part of Trapro Coffee Washing Stations, founded by Bernard Uwitije, who grew up in a coffee-producing family and later built his business around fully washed specialty coffee.
The farms delivering cherry to Gitega Hills sit at high altitudes, around 1,700 to 1,900 metres above sea level, where cool temperatures, volcanic soils, and careful processing help create a clean and expressive cup. Coffee is selectively picked, washed, fermented, sorted by density, and dried slowly on raised beds.
"This is the kind of Rwanda we really enjoy, super sweet, fruity, and balanced, with a lively but elegant acidity. Although it's a natural it never gets too funky, just right. It has a really nice round and more approachable profile. We find a really pleasant range of flavours with some tropical notes, mango, strawberry and a caramelly finish"

Nordic by Nature. Balanced by Design.
Our Roasting philosophy
Amokka is shaped by a Nordic approach to coffee, built on clarity, balance, and respect for the coffee’s natural character. We roast with precision to bring out the best in every coffee, favouring freshness, vibrancy, and a lighter approach that highlights complexity without overpowering it.
We roast to enhance, not overshadow, allowing each coffee’s unique profile to shine while maintaining balance.
Freshness and vibrancy matter, but never at the expense of depth. Our coffee is not defined by extremes, rather its about finding that sweet spot where everything comes together seamlessly.
