About the Company

At Ororo Experience, our journey began in March 2022, rooted in a profound love for coffee. Inspired by the allure of Mount Elgon’s family-run farms in Uganda, our team witnessed the captivating transformation of bright red cherries into the green coffee beans we now hold dear. This eye-opening experience led to the birth of our ethos: “it’s all in the bean.”

Named after the Swahili words for nice, beautiful, and serene, Ororo encapsulates the essence of the exceptional coffee experience we’re dedicated to providing our customers.
