The story of Kahawa 1893 begins in 1893, when coffee's journey around the world brought it back to Africa. "Kahawa" means "coffee" in Swahili, our language. This is your story too - be a part of it.

Kahawa 1893 is a specialty coffee company founded by Margaret Nyamumbo, a third-generation coffee farmer from Kenya. After observing that women contribute 90% of coffee production labor with little to no financial gain, Margaret launched Kahawa 1893 to make a difference.

Kenyan coffee is among the most celebrated in the world, known for its complex, full-bodied, bright, and inherently sweet flavor profile. Our Kenyan blend features this signature taste.

The Ethiopian blend in our collection showcases beans sourced from two equally renowned regions within the country - Yirgacheffe and Guji. This flavorful combination delivers notes of blackcurrant, apricot, caramel, berries, and floral aromas in every sip.
