Jacobs launches Origins Kenya & Uganda Beans this Africa Day, celebrating Africa’s coffee legacy with a premium, flavourful blend.


As Africa Day approaches this May, Jacobs Coffee celebrates Africa’s rich coffee heritage with the launch of Jacobs Origins Kenya & Uganda Beans. This premium, origin-led blend highlights the craftsmanship and diversity of two of the world’s most influential coffee-producing nations: Kenya and Uganda.
Africa contributes approximately 12% of global coffee production, with Uganda and Kenya playing pivotal roles in shaping the global coffee landscape. The launch of Jacobs Origins Kenya & Uganda Beans aligns with a growing consumer trend towards provenance, flavour exploration, and premiumisation in at-home coffee experiences.
A shift in coffee culture
Modern coffee drinkers are increasingly curious and intentional about their choices. They seek transparency in origin, unique flavour profiles, and products that tell a story. Jacobs Origins Kenya & Uganda Beans caters to this demand by combining two iconic African coffee traditions into one premium experience.
“Consumers are increasingly looking for coffee that tells a story—where it comes from, how it is crafted, and what makes it unique,” says Domaine Rautenbach, Senior Brand Manager at Jacobs. “Jacobs Origins Kenya & Uganda Beans speaks directly to that shift by bringing together two iconic African origins to create a premium coffee experience rooted in flavour, quality, and authenticity.”
Crafted for coffee lovers
With an intensity of 8/10, Jacobs Origins Kenya & Uganda Beans is designed for coffee enthusiasts who enjoy a strong, flavour-forward cup. Whether enjoyed black or with milk-based recipes, the beans deliver a robust and satisfying finish. They are also ideal for fully automatic coffee machines, ensuring consistent extraction and café-quality results at home.
Celebrating Africa’s coffee legacy
More than just a product, Jacobs Origins Kenya & Uganda Beans reinforces Jacobs’ commitment to celebrating origin, culture, and craftsmanship. Launching in alignment with Africa Day, the brand invites consumers to experience the richness, diversity, and expertise of Africa in every bean.
