Who We Are & What We Do

At MansaSpirits, we believe in more than just great products, we believe in honoring tradition, celebrating culture, and creating connections. Founded with a passion for African heritage, MansaSpirits is dedicated to bridging the gap between the African diaspora and the continent’s rich traditions through premium, really good African-made finished products.

MansaSpirits is more than a brand; it’s a movement. We are passionate about sharing Africa’s craftsmanship, artistry, and world-class products with a global audience.

Led by our Principal Owner and Brand Executive, Francisca Freeman, MansaSpirits is committed to redefining the narrative around African-made products and showcasing their sophistication and excellence. Originally from Ghana, Francisca’s journey began when she discovered APHRO Palm Spirit, the brand’s flagship product, during a trip to Ghana. Inspired by its rich flavors and cultural significance, she set out on a mission to introduce the world to the best of African craftsmanship.

Starting with the featured spirit APHRO Palm Spirit, a one-of-a-kind, triple-distilled palm-based spirit crafted in Ghana, West Africa. APHRO is more than just a drink; it’s an experience—a modern interpretation of an ancestral spirit that embodies the soul of West Africa. Infused with tropical notes of pineapple, passion fruit, a touch of spices and ginger, APHRO is a versatile, smooth, and bold spirit perfect for any occasion.

We are dedicated to changing perceptions and celebrating Africa’s rich traditions in a new light. Our mission is to:

  • Honor African Heritage: We bring premium, finished African products to the global stage, allowing consumers to experience authentic craftsmanship firsthand.
  • Foster Connection: Through our curated brands experiences, we connect the African diaspora to their roots while introducing new audiences to Africa’s vibrant culture.
  • Support African Artisans: By sourcing directly from African producers, we ensure that every purchase contributes to sustainable economic growth and empowers local communities.
  • Redefine African-Made: We aim to dismantle stereotypes and position finished African products as sophisticated, high-quality, and globally competitive.

At MansaSpirits, every sip is a journey, and every bottle tells a story. Join us in celebrating Africa, one pour at a time.
