Our Coffee
Every Upendo lot is single-origin Kenyan, sourced from cooperatives across Kenya's five great coffee regions. Choose by roast level, format, or order custom roast profiles and private-label packaging for your brand.
The Range
Roasted Whole Beans
Full-bodied with deep wine-like acidity, floral aromatics, and a bright citrus finish. Our flagship lot — the bean that put Kenya on the world map.
Available formats
Roasted Ground Coffee
Same celebrated origin as our Tiger lot, ground fresh and nitrogen-flushed for maximum aroma retention. Ready for filter, French press, or moka pot.
Available formats
Dark Roasted Whole Beans
A bold dark roast for espresso lovers. Heavier body, lower acidity, with notes of dark chocolate and toasted hazelnut.
Available formats
Dark Roasted Ground Coffee
Espresso-ready dark ground: a syrupy cup that pulls beautifully and stands up to milk in cappuccinos and lattes.
Available formats
Roasted & Ground Coffee
Smooth medium-roast ground coffee with deep, brooding character. Notes of tobacco, dark chocolate, and blackcurrant — Kenya at its boldest.
