We Are Who We’ve Always Been
Jamii Coffee is an independent, family-owned importer - rooted in Oregon, grounded in Kenyan heritage. Since day one, we’ve believed that coffee trade should uplift everyone it touches.
From the farmers we work with to the roasters we serve, our model is built on:
-
Verified social and environmental impact
-
Transparent, direct trade with Kenyan farmers
-
Quality, traceability, and purpose in every bag
We’re proud to be a Certified B Corporation, but this isn’t new for us - it’s a formal recognition of values we’ve held from the start.
Integrity, Equity, and Impact are in our DNA.
