• and darker roast

Each roasting type imparts unique characteristics to the coffee, including body profile, acidity, and flavor. The choice of roast depends on the preferences of our clients and the specific demands of different coffee markets.

With a steadfast commitment to quality and precision, we meticulously craft each batch of coffee to deliver a rich and satisfying experience with every cup. Our roasting process is powered by

cutting-edge technology and a commitment to sustainability. Our 5kg capacity roaster uses fluid bed roasting, a state-of-the-art method that ensures precise control and consistent results. Equipped with a screen monitor, our roaster monitors the coffee profile and autonomously adjusts the roasting process for optimal flavour development.

With a capacity to roast up to 30kgs of coffee per hour, our electric roaster is not only fast and efficient, but also environmentally friendly. After roasting to the desired profile, the coffee is cooled by air on the cooling drum, maintaining its freshness and flavour.

Once cooled, the coffee is carefully packaged in environmentally friendly silver-coated bags, complete with a valve to preserve freshness. Branded under NASAAGA Coffee, our roasted coffees are available in various packaging sizes ranging from 500gms to 1kg, catering to different distribution centers and markets.

Additionally, we have begun roasting our coffee locally, using readily available resources such as firewood and saucepans. After roasting, we grind and pack the coffee into 50gm, 120gm, and 250gm packages under the brand name of NASAAGA Coffee.
