Kahawa 1893^® is a specialty coffee company founded and run by Margaret Nyamumbo, a third-generation coffee farmer from Kenya. Kahawa means “coffee” in Swahili, the primary language spoken there.

Growing up on her grandfather’s coffee farm in Kenya, Margaret observed that women provided 90% of labor on the farm but they were not always adequately compensated. She founded Kahawa 1893^® to help empower the women who make the coffee trade possible and share exquisite African coffee with the world.

The Kahawa 1893^® mission of empowering women is supported by an innovative tipping program where customers can tip farmers directly. The tips are utilized by the women to invest in projects to better their communities. Visit Kahawa1893.com to learn more.
