Seven species.
One forest.
A living ecosystem.
The Achai Collection is not a product range. It is a map of the Abyei agroforest — seven species, each with its own harvest season, its own cooperative, its own chapter. Some are ready. Some are being written. All are traceable to the same land.

Explore Achai Gum →Peth
Ziziphus spina-christi
The Christ thorn. A tree that has fed the Ngok Dinka for generations. Its story is being written.
Read the Story →Shea
Vitellaria paradoxa
A second expression of the shea tree — a refined oil pressed from the same groves, a different chapter.
Partner Enquiry →Desert Date
Balanites aegyptiaca
One of the oldest trees in the Sahel. Its oil has been used for skin and cooking for over 5,000 years.
Partner Enquiry →Tamarind
Tamarindus indica
The tamarind trees of Abyei are ancient. Their fruit is tart, complex, and deeply woven into Dinka food culture.
Partner Enquiry →Hibiscus
Hibiscus sabdariffa
Karkadé. The dried calyces of the hibiscus flower make a tea that is both ceremony and medicine across the Sahel.
Partner Enquiry →Sorghum
Sorghum bicolor
The grain that built the Dinka calendar. Sorghum is not a crop here — it is a covenant with the land.
Partner Enquiry →Every product in the Achai Collection is sourced from a single species in the Abyei agroforest. No blending. No supplementary supply chains.
The people
behind every harvest
The cooperatives, harvesters, and families of Abyei. The final chapter of the journey — and the reason it exists.
