MannaBrew is not just another coffee brand trying to convince you that our coffee is the best, because it is NOT COFFEE.
MannaBrew is made from a superfood known as Mesquite (Prosopis glandulosa). The seedpods of the hardy Mesquite tree are slow roasted to enhance the rich, smooth, caramel, nutty flavors that can be enjoyed like any other coffee, giving you lots of energy but without the side effects of caffeine.
The unique taste of MannaBrew will surely surprise you because it is unlike anything you have tasted before.
MannaBrew looks like coffee, can be made the same ways as coffee, enjoyed the same way coffee would be, but it is a superfood that tastes super good!
You can now enjoy espresso with a healthy twist.
Enjoy a full, rich espresso that is high in nutritional value. The natural sugars in the Mesquite beans give the product a subtly sweet, rich, dark caramel flavor.
Try our delicious coffee alternative with a bit of milk or cream for a truly yummy drink, or take it black for a more coffee-like experience.
One box (226g) / 8 ounces of MannaBrew can make up to 28 cups (250 ml). Learn how to make it here!

For a genuine coffee lover who can no longer enjoy caffeine, this is truly an amazing-tasting alternative.
Although it doesn't taste quite like coffee (although a colleague of mine says it does), it's a lekker drink. It's comforting, like a warm cup of soup; not the taste, the feeling of drinking MB. I enjoy it. Also good to know it's not a drug.
I love MannaBrew's taste. No acidity, no after taste, no bloated tummy, just good for you.
I cannot drink the normal coffee, but since I discovered MANNABREW, I am so impressed with the taste and the benefits. THANK YOU!!
I love the mesquite bean brew - never drink coffee anymore
A couple years ago, I had to stop using conventional coffee beans, b/c of the acid deposit that it caused.
I switched to MannaBrew, and haven't looked back.
Thank you for a superb product. I encourage people to try it, as often as I can.

We enjoy Manna Brew as an alternative to coffee.
It is easy to order and it gets delivered right at your door. What more can you ask for.
Thank you Manna Brew
Absolutely love Mesquite coffee. It tastes so nutty and chocolatey, and is so creamy when made cappuccino style with oat milk.
I can't drink normal coffee due to health reasons and I've been missing that hot cup in the morning for years (tea just doesn't hit the same spot, ya know)... and then I found Mannabrew. Or Mannabrew found me. Wow! Rich and creamy with hints of caramel... I'm in love. I love that I can drink it with honey and almond milk, to make it even more decadent. Don't even get me started on ice coffee. Thank you to whomever discovered and developed this gorgeous coffee alternative. You have a customer for life!
My preferred first cuppa in the morning. It's reduced my coffee consumption drastically.
Thank you for an amazing brand. Love this
Don’t expect coffee, because its not coffee. It is an amazing alternative to coffee. Don’t want the caffeine, but still want a great tasting hot drink? Don’t want to compromise on your healthy lifestyle either? Then this superfood drink is made for you! I drink my coffee black, but I personally enjoy the Manna brew with a dash of milk (this is a common opinion among the people that have tasted the drink). To me, the milk enhances the nutty/caramelly taste. At first, it was a taste that most people had to get used to. After the first few sips you know what to expect, then it becomes better and better. It must be said, there were a handful of people that could just not get used to the taste. It was striking to see that it was the real coffee connoisseurs who appreciated and enjoyed the Mana Brew, especially those who couldn’t have caffeine at night.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
MannaBrew contains no caffeine, but the essential sugars from the Mesquite beans are known to energise and uplift, like caffeinated coffee, but without any side effects. Once you have tasted MannaBrew, everything else might taste a bit bland in comparison.
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.
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.
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.
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 germinates 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!
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 to save an average of 8 million litre/year of precious underground water per year.
Currently, about one thousand people are involved each year during the harvesting process. Every bit helps, as the unemployment rate in the Northern Cape where the Mesquite seedpods are harvested is currently at 40%!
With every sip of MannaBrew, you not only get a healthy energy boost, but you also help to conserve the ecology of the Northern Cape while making a difference in the lives of thousands of harvesters.
