Wild Ghana Coffee
What it is
Skin Gourmet Wild Ghana Coffee is Ghana-style coffee, formulated, sourced, and roasted in Ghana, then blended with iconic West African botanicals for a cup that tastes bold, feels warming, and smells like home. The coffee itself comes from Akropong in Ghana’s Eastern Region, sourced from Asili Coffee, then paired with prekese (Aidan fruit), ginger, nutmeg, tiger nut, grains of paradise, and Ashanti pepper, absolutely nothing else added.
With every bag sold, part of our profits is invested back into local sustainability projects that develop people one bag at a time.
Why it works (the “how,” not hype)
Wild Ghana coffee (Coffea arabica): Coffee is naturally rich in bioactive compounds, including polyphenols like chlorogenic acids, which are widely studied for antioxidant activity.
Prekese (Tetrapleura tetraptera, Aidan fruit): A beloved West African botanical with a signature aroma, and it’s also documented in the scientific literature for its phytochemical profile and antioxidant potential.
Ginger (Zingiber officinale): Warming and comforting, ginger contains gingerols and shogaols that are widely studied for antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity.
Grains of paradise (Aframomum melegueta): Peppery, citrusy, and fragrant, this West African spice has published evidence of anti-inflammatory activity in lab studies, which fits perfectly with this “warming, revived” style of coffee.
Ashanti pepper (Piper guineense): Bold, aromatic, and unmistakably West African, and it’s discussed in scientific sources for its phytochemical content and reported biological activities.
Nutmeg (Myristica fragrans): Adds that cozy, sweet-spice finish that makes the blend taste rounded and rich.
Tiger nut (Cyperus esculentus): Adds a mellow, naturally sweet, nutty note that smooths the cup, and tiger nut is widely described in food science as a nutrient-dense plant with fiber, minerals, and beneficial fats depending on how it’s processed.
Bonus, for your skin (yes, we said it)
Coffee and caffeine show up in skincare for a reason. Coffee grounds are a physical exfoliant, and topical caffeine is studied for cosmetic benefits related to how skin looks and feels, especially in formulas designed for a refreshed, smoother-looking appearance.
