Gemini's history dates back to 1996, when instant coffee was a family staple in Ukrainian households,
and imported coffee was considered to be the finest quality.
We were young and brave people in a young independent Ukraine who dreamed to develop the coffee
industry, demonstrate potential of the coffee, and change the attitude of Ukrainians to the national product.
And for 26 years we have never strayed from this path.
We have united people who truly love coffee and are dedicated to their work. Our experience in finding
and roasting coffee is based on 26 years of studying coffee processing methods around the world, and our
team’s many years of work experience in coffee shops make it easy to understand what customers really want.
We have built our own manufacture to monitor all links in the chain of coffee production - from coffee
plantation to a cup of coffee. Every year we visit plantations in Africa and Central America and personally
speak to farmers to ensure the quality of coffee and compliance with the requirements of coffee cultivation.
We apply principles of fair trade: we buy beans directly from farmers at a fair price. When coffee is
delivered to our production facility, we roast it and pour into cups, verify its quality and flavour to choose
the best type of roast for each variety. Then we roast and pack it. We also create different interesting blends.
"Coffee is our responsibility and passion. Coffee is a ritual that inspires us"
From a small team of like-minded people, Gemini has grown into a large manufacturer of natural freshly
roasted coffee and tea. Gemini offers a variety of blends for all coffee brewing methods, single-origin coffee,
specialty coffee, RTD beverages, drip coffee and a wide range of natural elite tea.
"Gemini received a silver award in the Weighted Tea category in 2020
based on the preferences of Ukrainian consumers"
Today we work for retail consumers and business customers. Gemini coffee can be found on the shelves of the largest
supermarkets throughout Ukraine, in more than 700 retail outlets.
Our B2B customers are gas stations, chains of coffee shops and restaurants, car dealers, beauty salons, hotels, resort
businesses, retail chains, chains of "close to home" grocery stores, offices, IT companies. During 26 years of experience,
we have produced more than 78 million kg of coffee and installed more than 15,000 professional automatic coffee machines.
We are the official distributor of coffee equipment from world-famous brands. We offer a variety of equipment for making coffee -
coffee makers, coffee grinders and professional coffee machines. We test and examine all equipment for convenience and quality
of coffee brewing. Only after we experienced the benefits of equipment first-hand, we can recommend it to our customers.
We’re always on the move constantly looking for things to improve. We are constantly growing and changing.
We support each other with words and actions. We know our strengths and are bold enough to speak about them
confidently. Modesty is not about us. If there is an opportunity to praise ourselves, we go for it.
"We know our strengths and are bold enough to speak about them confidently"
We believe that everyone can do it, and show it by example. Back in the day we wanted to create coffee that would
kick-start many important things. We wanted to try out our first beans, and now they’re on the shelves of supermarket
and in coffee shops across the country. Because if you want to achieve your goal, you can do it.
