SOURCING OUR COFFEE
As the founder, born and raised in the heart of Kenya, I've witnessed firsthand the disparity faced by small batch farmers in Africa.
Our mission at Uzuri Coffee is to rewrite this narrative, empowering these farmers by directly sourcing their specialty single origin coffee. With every sip, you're not just indulging in a rich, flavorful experience; you're also supporting communities in Africa, ensuring they receive the value they deserve.
SUSTAINABILITY
Our aim is to create a positive impact at every point from farmers to your front door, ensuring that everyone involved is supported in their efforts to bring you an exceptional cup of coffee.
Our commitment extends to every step of the journey. We champion specialty coffee with integrity, making decisions that respect our collective goal: to deliver not just a coffee, but an experience that honors the beauty and richness of Africa.
