Our Story

Redefining Coffee's Value Chain

Adelpheia was born from a simple observation: despite being the second most traded commodity globally, coffee farmers receive as little as 10% of the retail price. We set out to change this reality.

By establishing direct relationships with farmer cooperatives in Uganda and implementing cutting-edge blockchain technology, we've created a model that delivers exceptional coffee while ensuring farmers receive a fair share of the value they create.

Direct Trade Relationships

We work directly with farmer cooperatives to eliminate unnecessary middlemen and build lasting partnerships.

Sustainable Practices

Our farmers implement regenerative agriculture with carbon sequestration to protect the environment while improving quality.

Blockchain Verification

Every transaction is recorded on Hedera Hashgraph, creating immutable proof of fairness and transparency.
