South Africans have seamlessly integrated coffee into their daily life, offering a variety of ways to enjoy a single type of coffee
In South Africa, coffee is an essential part of every household. For South Africans, drinking coffee is more than a habit—it's an indispensable part of their daily life, with various ways to enjoy it depending on the rhythm of the day: a cup of black coffee to start the morning, a foamy cappuccino paired with a light lunch, a white coffee (flat white) during afternoon tea, and, if possible, a low-intensity latte in the evening.
With such diverse ways of enjoying coffee, South Africans don’t necessarily seek championship coffee beans or complex light roasts, nor are they strictly adherent to black coffee. They believe that a great cup of coffee can be simple and love high-quality single-origin coffees that are smooth and rich, featuring nutty, chocolate, and caramel notes—perfect to satisfy everyone's needs throughout the day.
Africa's unique roasting technique for "aromatic" coffee
ILIFA embraces the spirit of coffee drinking in South Africa and has partnered with South African roasting experts to develop a range of premium aromatic coffees. Using traditional African roasting methods, each coffee bean is carefully crafted to release a unique aroma that enhances the overall flavor. The ILIFA coffee series currently offers six different coffee bean variants with distinct aromas: Vanilla, Hazelnut, African Elephant Fruit, African Honey, Toffee & Macadamia, as well as a classic South African specialty blend: African Morning.
When brewed after grinding, the coffee delivers a smooth, rich, and pure taste—neither acidic nor bitter. Each sip is accompanied by a subtle fragrance, making it the perfect choice for anyone who wants to enjoy a simple, high-quality coffee at any time.
The Toffee Aromatic Coffee exudes a rich, warm aroma of caramel and butter, much like enjoying toffee treats by the heater on a chilly winter afternoon. A cup of Toffee Aromatic Iced Latte pairs perfectly with afternoon tea, allowing you to savor the comforting caramel and butter notes, making your mood instantly brighter and more joyful.
100% Arabica coffee beans
ILIFA’s roasted coffee is made using 100% premium Arabica single-origin coffee beans to ensure the highest quality and natural flavor. The coffee beans we select are sourced from small coffee estates or farms in Ethiopia, Tanzania, Kenya, and Rwanda.
Each batch of coffee is meticulously crafted by our roasting experts in South Africa, who carefully roast the beans in small batches using a handcrafted approach. During this process, traditional African methods are employed for a medium roast, resulting in unique coffee beans with exceptional flavor.
Adding milk and honey to your coffee is the perfect match!
Just like the diverse ways South Africans enjoy their coffee, ILIFA roasted coffee is perfect for brewing black coffee, American coffee, or any coffee with milk (such as lattes, cappuccinos, flat whites, macchiatos), and it works well with a variety of brewing methods: drip, pour-over, French press, espresso, stovetop moka pot, or cold brew.
Drinking coffee doesn’t have to mean no sugar or milk—it's all about personal preference for strength and sweetness.
ILIFA highly recommends adding fresh milk directly to your brewed black coffee (the ratio can be adjusted based on the coffee's strength) to reduce bitterness and enhance the rich coffee aroma.
If you like your coffee sweet, consider using natural honey instead of sugar or syrups. ILIFA especially recommends our South African Rare Blossom Honey or Tree of Life Blossom Honey from the ILIFA Honey Series. These honeys bring a unique floral and fruity fragrance to your coffee, creating an addictive flavor that will have you coming back for more.
