MannaBrew, more than coffee
The coffee alternative with a conscience
MannaBrew is more than a drink; it’s a journey to better health, community support, and environmental care. Made from nutrient-rich Mesquite seedpods, this unique beverage offers a comforting taste with nutty, caramel, and chocolate undertones—like freshly baked cookies in a cup.
Mesquite Trees
The story of MannaBrew starts in South Africa, deep in the heart of the Karoo in a small town called Prieska. It is here, on the banks of the mighty Orange River, where farmlands are being taken over by thousands of invasive thorn trees, known as Mesquite (Prosopis glandulosa) trees. While most local people regard these trees as a nuisance, one family has discovered that the deep-yellow seed pods that grow on these trees are, in fact, an amazing superfood.
Harvesting
Through 26 years of working with the Mesquite trees, the two brothers, Aam and Brandt Coetzee, discovered that, besides other superfood products, you can actually make “coffee” with the Mesquite seedpods.
Well, each year, a small window of only 2 to 3 weeks allows us to harvest a year’s supply of the Mesquite seedpods before the summer rains start to fall. But this small harvesting window brings a smile to the faces of the locals in this poverty-stricken Karoo town.
Job creation
For these people, it is an opportunity to go into the field and collect the pods, which are then purchased from them according to the weight they have collected. This helps to provide them with seasonal work and supports their local economy. The pods are sorted by hand to ensure they are of the highest quality before being weighed, put into bags, and transported to Somerset West, in the Western Cape province of South Africa.
Processing
When the pods arrive at the MannaBrew processing plant, they are sorted once more before being roasted, milled, and blended into the perfect ground consistency so that it can be brewed using almost any type of coffee-making instrument. The blended Mesquite Espresso is packed in specially made bags to secure a long shelf life. The packaging is 100% bio-degradable and recyclable. Now, it is ready to be enjoyed! The slow roasting process brings out the natural sweetness and unique flavors of this superfood from nature.
Manna Brew Changes Lives!
Manna Brew is not just another consumer product – this is a product that has a real impact on lives ...
Manna Brew changes the lives of the people who drink it,
by offering an alternative hot drink that still gives a full coffee experience, whilst being a superfood that is soft on the digestive system that don’t cause acidity in the body, but rather energises and uplift without keeping you awake at night.
Manna Brew changes the lives of the local workers who collect the seedpods,
by providing them with a source of income in a poverty-stricken area, so they too can provide for their families. This, in turn, gives a massive boost to the local economy in the area where the seedpods are collected.
Manna Brew changes the lives of the farmers on whose farms these trees grow,
who have more time, energy, and resources to produce food when the much-needed water and land is not being used by the rapidly spreading Mesquite tree.
The Numbers Tell Another Story
Stopping the Spread
Each 226g box of MannaBrew contains an average of 75 Mesquite seed pods, which adds up to about 1125 seeds. Research indicates that an average of 35% of these seeds germinate within the first year. This means that each box of MannaBrew has the potential to prevent another 393 new trees from invading valuable farmland over the next year, and the number grows exponentially from there as each tree produces more seed!
Saving Water
The water usage of the average size Mesquite tree (2.5 to 3.5 m high) is about 60L/day, which means that with each box of MannaBrew, you help save an average of 8 million litres of precious underground water per year.
Choosing to certify MannaBrew as organic offers peace of mind in several ways:
No artificial chemicals
Our Mesquite Coffee is made with wild-harvested, organic Mesquite seed pods that have not been treated with fertilizers, pesticides, or any artificial chemicals.
More nutrients

Sustainable harvesting
Harvesting Mesquite seed pods not only protects valuable farmland and scarce underground water reserves but also helps to prevent further environmental infestation from these invasive alien trees. This sustainable practice also supports the livelihoods of local people.
