Imvelo Studios

5% of Imvelo’s revenue supports Imvelo Studios and Zambian artists.

Every roast you order carries a share to the studio. The artist is named on the bag, and their work hangs in the Art room of the house.

Imvelo means nature. Your roast is finished by hand on the drum in Lusaka, from the season’s harvest, May to September, in the Kasama highlands.
