ABOUT THE COFFEE
Kenya Kairima
Edwin and Mary farm their land alongside plots worked by Edwin’s mother, Rahab, and his brother, Samuel; Kairima is a blend of lots from all three. Their shared washing station sits on Rahab’s plot, a short walk from the original family home. Though they’re relatively new to specialty farming practices, the Kamaus have been producing coffee since the 1950s.
The Kamaus’ multigenerational legacy now extends beyond their farms: under the brand Edmax, they roast coffee and run a café in Nairobi with the goal of increasing local consumption and fostering a vibrant community coffee culture. This commitment, in addition to their guiding principles of quality, sustainability, and transparency, has made it an honor to work and spend time with them over the past five years.
To learn more about Kenya’s specialty coffee supply chain, we invite you to pour yourself a cup of Kenya Kairima and dive into our second volume of Parchment, digitally archived here for your reading pleasure.
