Mwanyi Terimba (Kaawa Mpologoma)

Kampala, Uganda

What Mwanyi Terimba (Kaawa Mpologoma) is known for

Mwanyi Terimba, trading as Kaawa Mpologoma or 'The Royal Coffee Brand,' was founded by Kironde Charles under a coffee-growing campaign commissioned by the Kingdom of Buganda. It sells six package sizes and stocks over 200 supermarkets around Kampala.

Mwanyi Terimba Limited, trading as Kaawa Mpologoma — 'The Royal Coffee Brand' — was founded by Kironde Charles around the Kingdom of Buganda's Emmwanyi Terimba campaign, a call to 'grow more coffee' that the company built its entire identity on. The brand carries an unusual credential for a coffee company: the Buganda kingdom itself commissioned the coffee, and the company cites documented support from the Katikkiro, the kingdom's prime minister, behind the royal branding. Production runs out of the company's Muganzirwazza Commercial Complex headquarters in Katwe, with additional warehousing in Namanve, turning both washed and natural Arabica and natural Robusta into roasted whole bean, ground, and green coffee. Packaging spans six sizes, from a 20-gram sachet at 500 shillings up to a full kilogram bag, a range built for both a single cup and a household's monthly stock. That range shows up on shelves in more than 200 supermarkets across Kampala, Wakiso, and Entebbe, backed by a supply chain that purchases over 300 metric tons of coffee during the season and supports more than 500 jobs across the value chain. For a company built on a royal endorsement, the retail footprint is what makes the claim concrete: this isn't a ceremonial label, it's coffee sitting on hundreds of supermarket shelves.
