Kahwe Roastery is for everyone interested in coffee.
The approach to everything we do is relaxed, honest, open and down to earth. Our aim is to conduct our business as ethically and transparently as possible.
It is of utmost importance to us that the coffee farmers get compensated fairly for the work they do. Our intention is to develop relationships based on trust and mutual understanding, focusing on sustainability.
We shape the world through our actions and behavior as individuals and the scale only gets bigger for companies. Kahwe Roastery’s intention is to act humanely, taking the environment and all living beings into consideration. In the end, we are all one.
Kahwe’s story started in 2017 when an experienced barista Joel Marttala felt a strong pull towards roasting coffee. The idea had been brewing in his mind for some time and he had actually had a chance to purchase a local artisan roastery. After deliberating the matter and finding the right business partners he decided to rather start his own.
You can get to know us and the roastery better by booking a tasting session. Read more about the sessions we offer by clicking the link below.
Ex-chef and -barista Joel, Kahwe’s founder, has been working with coffee since 2011. The force that kickstarted Kahwe in 2017 is driven by a certain perfectionism when it comes to bringing the best out of every single coffee he works with.
Joel balances out the hectic nature of working at the roastery by spending time in nature, baking and participating in army reserve activities.
Joonas jumped in the deep end when he started a cafe restaurant in Windhoek, the capital city of Namibia, without any education or previous experience in 2014. He’s worked with coffee in various different roles every since. Enjoys bringing people together, creating positive vibes and staying present.
Apart from being a coffee enthusiast, Joonas balances his time between manic record playing and being still in meditation.
