MEET THE FOUNDER
Mount Kenya Coffee was founded by Nyokabi Kuguru, a passionate entrepreneur from Nyeri, Kenya. Inspired by her childhood on her family’s coffee farm, Nyokabi created a brand that celebrates the rich flavours and exceptional quality of Kenyan coffee. Through Mount Kenya Coffee, she invites you to experience unique flavour profiles that reflect her heritage and the vibrant spirit of the region.
Nyokabi’s connection to coffee runs deep. Her grandfather, Ngibuini Kuguru, was among the first Kenyans permitted to farm coffee after independence in the 1960s, breaking colonial restrictions on local cultivation. He introduced and encouraged coffee production in his home region and was a founding member of the local cooperative, now one of the highest performing coffee producers in Kenya.
Nyokabi spent her childhood wandering the estate, fostering her appreciation for farming and the natural world as she learned about the various crop and their uses for nutrition, medicine, and sustainability.
Mount Kenya Coffee is more than a brand—it’s Nyokabi’s tribute to her roots and an invitation to savour the joy, heritage, and unmatched quality of Kenyan coffee. Karibuni—Welcome—to Mount Kenya Coffee, where every cup tells a story of tradition, community and passion.
