SKU: N/A Category:
Founded in the wake of the Tanzanian Cooperative Act of 2003, today the Iyenga AMCOS
(Agricultural Marketing Cooperative Society) has 193 registered members, and collects from just over 500 farmers. These are smallholders; most with 1-2 hectare farmers, and none with more than 5.
Most members are within a short walk of the washing station, the furthest farm being 10km away.
Still, during the harvest the group organizes trucks and motorbikes to pick up cherry and make sure
that all is pulped within 8 hours of harvest. If you visit during the harvest you’ll find the pulper running from 4pm -8pm, right around sundown. It’s a government-granted Penagos UCBE 500, an eco-efficient machine that conserves water – which is critical in this area. Access to water is one of
Iyenga’s biggest challenges, especially during the dry season. Conversations during the annual
meetings include ideas for damming a local river or creating a rain-water reservoir.
Iyenga’s elected board has a reputation for capable management, as evidenced by their collection
services and pulping standards. They have proven their ability to work towards long-term goals, and
have taken on quality as their next objective.
And because of this, Iyenga is starting to build a name for themselves based on quality – in 2019
they won the Taste of Harvest Competition with their AA and PB coffees. One of our projects with
them now is to expand drying bed capacity, a bottleneck in quality production, and necessary for our
goal of increasing drying times.

Our Approach to Transparency

At Euphoria, transparency begins with relationships. We believe that great coffee is rooted in mutual trust, respect, and shared commitment, long before it ever reaches your cup.

Instead of focusing solely on numbers or certifications, we prioritize long-standing partnerships with the farmers who grow our coffee. Some of these relationships have been years in the making, built through consistent communication, shared goals, and genuine care for one another’s success.

We believe the length of these relationships is one of the most meaningful indicators of transparency. A farmer would not choose to work with us year after year if we were cutting corners, negotiating unfairly, or treating their work as anything less than the craft it is. When both sides continue to return, it’s because the partnership is healthy, respectful, and mutually beneficial.

For some of our newer relationships, the foundation is the same: direct access and open communication are non-negotiable. We do not pursue sourcing situations where we can’t talk directly with the people producing the coffee, nor do we enter relationships that don’t have the potential to grow into something long-term. Our goal is always consistency, trust, and shared success, not one-time transactions.

Whenever possible, we visit our producing partners face to face. Sitting down together, walking their farms, and experiencing their work firsthand is invaluable. These moments deepen our connection and help ensure that our sourcing practices reflect our values in real, tangible ways.

When you enjoy our coffee, you’re supporting real people, real families, and real histories, thoughtfully connected across the world. That’s the heart of what we do, and that’s the kind of transparency we’re proud to stand behind.

Length of Relationship with Iyenga AMCOS: 2 years
