Mulu Partners


The Mulu Team brings years of expertise in specialty coffee and cacao, rooted in direct trade relationships with farmers in Nicaragua and expanded into international wholesale markets. Our mission is to ensure that every product—whether a bag of coffee, a bar of chocolate, or wholesale cacao ingredients—is fairly sourced, transparently traded, and crafted with excellence. By working directly with smallholder farmers, we support sustainable practices, preserve traditions, and deliver authentic flavors to roasters, cafés, chocolatiers, and retailers. With deep experience in processing, post-harvest innovation, and flavor development, the Mulu Team is dedicated to connecting communities worldwide to the true story of coffee and cacao.
