Kenya Muinami Honey
Coffee Roots
After returning to his childhood home near Eldoret in 2015, Stephen Nendela and his mother converted their six-acre sugarcane plot to coffee. The success of that first microlot led him to purchase a neglected 17-acre farm in the cool Cherengany Hills, reviving it as Nawiri—known locally as Muinami, his family name meaning “those who work.” We first met Stephen in Uganda, where we toured farms and processors to better understand the landscape of Eastern Uganda coffee production. Our paths crossed again at SCA Expo where we exchanged coffee for personal consumption and conversation about the near future. Our third time meeting was on his own farm, where we shared laughs and more conversation. Once the coffee landed in the US, we knew we had to offer it to our customers. After a few whatsapp messages with Stephen and an email to the importer, this coffee was on the way to our roastery. There are so many great things to say about Muinami and the work happening to further the quality and sustainability of the farm, but let this cup just bring a smile to your face, and know that you’re participating in something truly special: a kind coffee.
