Hello! My name is John Mark Lubwama, founder of Bantu Origin.
What began as a love for Uganda’s rich coffee heritage has grown into a mission to share authentic, ethically sourced coffee with the world. At Bantu Origin, we partner directly with farmers across the Bantu region to ensure every bean tells a story of people, place, and purpose.
Each cup is a celebration of our roots — crafted with care, passion, and respect for the land and communities that make it possible. Your support helps us keep this tradition alive and bring the true origin of exceptional coffee to every home.
Warm regards,
John Mark Lubwama
Founder, Bantu Origin
Baable — From Bukuya to the World
In the misty hills of Bukuya, Uganda, lives Baable, a dedicated coffee farmer whose craft has been passed down through generations. Every morning, he walks through his fields with care, knowing each bean tells a story of family, patience, and pride.
For years, Baable struggled to earn a fair price for his harvest — until Bantu Origin began working directly with farmers like him, ensuring his hard work is valued and his story is shared.
Today, Baable’s coffee travels across continents, connecting his village to the world.
“When people drink my coffee, I feel like my story has traveled with it.” — Baable, Bukuya Farmer
