    Our Story

    Born on a coffee farm, our founder Jacques Shalo’s coffee business was inevitable! Moreover, Shalo is dedicated to sustainably sourcing our green coffee beans directly from farms back home in Cameroon.

    Air Roasting

    Traditional drum roasters are bad for the planet and your coffee. So we don’t use them! Our patented air roasting process sustainably eliminates burnt coffee and bitterness.

  • Colorful oval-shaped Kribi Coffee Air Roasters labels featuring different coffee blends and flavors, such as "hyperslap espresso" and "happy face," with various flavor notes and origins displayed.
