MannaBrew Produced with the Health Connoisseur in Mind.
Changing lives
MannaBrew is a brand made from a superfood known as Mesquite. This brand is the brainchild of the Northern Cape brothers named Brandt Coetzee & Aam Coetzee, who discovered after years of working with Mesquite trees that they can manufacture coffee using the tree seedpods. Their coffee is known for it’ s unique taste and energizing like caffeinated coffee, but without the any side effects.. We had chat with them to hear other than their brand, which other Mzansi brand they love and why - and this is what they said, “There are so many! But one that stands out currently would be Future Life. We love how they have made starting the day with a healthy meal easy and accessible to everyone ” .

When did you commence with MannaBrew and what made you choose to go for this product? Also what makes your coffee different from other brands?
“MannaBrew started in 2020, and it started as an extension of our other business, called Manna Health Products. Both businesses are part of our mission to stop the spread of Mesquite trees and make a positive impact on the ecology as well as the lives of everyone involved in the process ” .
“MannaBrew is not just another coffee brand trying to convince you that our coffee is the best, because it is NOT COFFEE. MannaBrew is, in fact, made from a superfood known as Mesquite seedpods, roasted in a similar way as coffee. You can still get to enjoy a cup of rich, smooth, delicious dark liquid – but it is unlike anything that you have ever tasted before. o summarise - It 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!”
Challenges you faced and how did you overcome them? “The biggest challenges we encountered were in the roasting and griding of the MannaBrew, as it is a much more difficult product to work with than normal coffee beans. We overcame the challenges by building and modifying purpose-built equipment in order to consistently roast and grind MannaBrew in such a way that it can be used in any type of coffee-brewing device ” .
What other products do you offer under the MannaBrew and any highlights? “It’ s only MannaBrew, it’ s our sister-company, called Manna Health Products that has various health supplements ” . There are no stand-out moments, every single day is a highlight for us to see the business grow while knowing we are helping so many people along the way and making a positive impact” .
As MannaBrew – what role are you playing/planning to play in fighting unemployment
in the country? “We hope to grow the business to such an extent that we can harvest in all the towns across the Northern Cape where the Mesquite trees grow, and potentially set up factories in these areas to provide jobs for many more people ” .
