The Genesis of Marunic
Eduardo Fernandes, the visionary behind Marunic, hails from Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil. A business graduate and a PMI Certified Project Manager, Eduardo spent several years in the construction industry in various regions of Brazil. However, his life took an unexpected turn when he felt called by a higher purpose. In November 2017, he made the decision to move to South Africa, where he now resides.
Eduardo's deep-rooted love for coffee and his desire to help others inspired the creation of Marunic. This company provides him with a platform to share his passion and promote the highest-quality green coffee beans in Cape Town.

If you're a coffee enthusiast or own a coffee roastery, there's a name you should become acquainted with - Marunic Coffee. Founded by Eduardo Fernandes in 2018, Marunic is a green coffee bean supplier based in Cape Town. This company stands out not only for its passion for coffee but also for its commitment to sustainable practices and community support.
What are Green Coffee Beans?
Coffee is a fruit. Green coffee beans are the raw seeds of coffee cherries that have been separated or “processed” and have yet to be roasted.
Sourcing Beans from Around the World
Marunic sources green coffee beans from a diverse range of countries. Their offerings span from the coffee heartlands of Brazil, Colombia, and Guatemala to the lesser-known but equally exceptional coffee regions of Nicaragua, Peru, Uganda, Tanzania, Ethiopia, and Vietnam. This extensive network of coffee sources ensures that Marunic offers a rich variety of beans to meet the needs of its customers.
Commitment to Sustainability
One of Marunic's distinguishing features is its dedication to sustainability. The company endeavours to source coffee beans from cooperatives. This model brings coffee farmers together to collectively grow, process, and sell their coffee. Cooperatives offer numerous advantages, such as resource-sharing, increased sustainability, and financial growth for coffee farmers.
In embracing these cooperative practices, Marunic promotes the well-being of the coffee industry and ensures that the farmers receive a fair and sustainable income. To learn more about the benefits of cooperatives, you can visit The Coffee Farmers Coop.
