AWIC Africa x Project Mocha: Coffee So Good, It’ll Make You Love Crypto ☕

Okay, let’s talk about the two greatest joys in life—coffee and blockchain (obviously). At our upcoming Block & Brunch, we’re beyond excited to serve up a piping-hot partnership with the one and only Project Mocha. Not only are they bringing coffee so good it could convert a tea lover, but they’re also proving how blockchain can brew a brighter future for Kenya’s smallholder farmers.

Yep, you read that right. This isn’t just any coffee. This is revolutionary coffee.

Meet Project Mocha: Coffee, Crypto, and Changing Lives

The story behind Project Mocha is just as rich as their coffee. It all started in Embu, where founder Paul Gachora grew up on a coffee farm. Back in the day, his grandfather was able to educate 13 children with earnings from just 600 coffee trees. But fast forward to Paul’s mom, Susan, who had five times more coffee trees, and the math wasn’t mathing. Like 700,000+ smallholder farmers in Kenya, she struggled with expensive loans and financial exclusion.

This is where Paul and co-founder Peter Maina stepped in with a solution as bold as your favourite espresso shot: blockchain technology. They’re tokenizing coffee trees (yep, you can own a piece of a coffee farm!) to give farmers affordable financing and access to tools like training, equipment, and fair revenue sharing. In short: they’re empowering farmers to grow more coffee, earn better money, and farm smarter.

Why This Coffee is the Real MVP

Here’s why Project Mocha is shaking up the coffee industry like your morning cup of cold brew:

• Pilot Project: They’ve already brought 2,000 coffee trees onto the blockchain.

• Big 2025 Goals: 10,000 tokenized coffee trees are in their sights, with plans to help farmers achieve 15 kgs of coffee berries per tree (up from less than 2 kgs today).

• Smart Farms: They’re using IoT devices to monitor weather, soil, and crops, making sure every bean lives its best life.

• Sustainability: From climate-smart farming to ethical sourcing, they’re all about growing coffee that’s as good for the planet as it is for your cup.
