We are passionate about

Our Causes

At Outliers Coffee Roasters we feel strongly about two things: great tasting coffee and conservation that makes a difference. At the start of 2019 the Outliers team sat down to discuss how best we could blend the two to make a valuable difference where it’s needed the most. Out of this was born our Roasting for a Cause range: a selection of expertly crafted blends designed in partnership with some of southern Africa’s most well-known conservation and rehabilitation aligned NPO’s. These organisations will directly benefit from the sale of each bag of their own unique blend where R10 and R40 is donated per 250g and 1Kg bag respectively. Not only can our customers now enjoy great tasting coffee but can now do so knowing that they have provided crucial support to our country’s wildlife warriors of today.
