A note from Upendo Kenya Coffee

Coffee that carries the soul of Kenya.

Upendo means love in Swahili - and that's how we treat every bean. From the fertile volcanic slopes of Kiambu, Nyeri, Kirinyaga, and Bungoma, our cooperative of smallholder farmers hand-picks only the ripest cherries. Each lot is wet-processed, fully washed, and sun-dried on raised beds before our in-house experts roast it to a nutty, fruit-forward chocolate brown.

The result is a cup with deep wine-like acidity, floral aromatics, and that unmistakable Kenya berry-citrus finish - exported under our four signature animals: Tiger, Zebra, Rhino, and Lion.
