+                Kapa Roast was founded in 2019 by two sisters who grew up watching their grandmother
+                prepare Ethiopian coffee ceremonies in their home in Khayelitsha. That ritual — the
+                careful roasting over coals, the scent of frankincense, the slow pour — became the
+                blueprint for everything we do.
+              </p>
+              <p>
+                Today we source green beans from twelve cooperatives across Kenya, Ethiopia, Rwanda,
+                and Tanzania. Every lot is traceable to the washing station, and every pound of coffee
+                we roast supports farmer-led initiatives in origin communities.
+              </p>
+              <p>
+                Our roastery in Woodstock, Cape Town, runs on solar energy and a 15 kg Diedrich
+                machine. We roast six days a week, cupping every batch to guarantee clarity,
+                sweetness, and a finish that speaks to the land it came from.
