Marafiki means "friends" in Swahili—and this coffee is designed for exactly that: everyday sharing.

From the Meru region, on the slopes of Mount Kenya, this blend combines coffees from five different farms, offering a balanced profile with the vibrant character typical of its origin.

Unlike many Kenyan coffees, this lot offers clearer traceability, bringing together productions from selected farms such as Ayub, Kathendu, Mumu, Rhino, and Thangatha.

The result is an accessible, consistent coffee with personality—perfect as your daily brew.
