Your Craft. Our Community. The Farmer’s Legacy

Bringing Radically Transparent Kenyan Green Coffee to Your Home Roastery.

The Art of the Roast, Rooted in Impact.

At Jamii Coffee, we believe that the journey of a coffee bean doesn’t end at the port—it finds its soul in the roast. For years, we’ve connected commercial roasters with the finest small-batch Kenyan farmers. Now, we’re opening the doors of our Jamii (community) to you: the home roaster.

When you roast Jamii green beans, you aren't just practicing a craft; you are honoring a heritage. You are roasting beans that have been sourced with radical transparency, ensuring that the farmers who grew them are recognized, respected, and rewarded.

Why Roast Jamii Kenyan Green?

 

  • Unrivaled Complexity: Kenyan coffees are world-renowned for their vibrant acidity, syrupy body, and "blackcurrant" sweetness. Our specialty lots offer the density and character that home roasters crave for testing their skill.

  • Direct-from-Farm Traceability: Know exactly where your beans came from. From the high-altitude slopes of Kirinyaga to the volcanic soils of Nyeri, we provide the story behind every lot.

  • A Fairer Trade: We operate on the principle that Coffee Belongs to the Farmer. By purchasing our green beans, you are supporting a supply chain that bypasses the traditional auction system to put more value back into the hands of Kenyan farming families.


 

Mastering the Kenyan Bean

Kenyan coffee is famously dense, requiring a thoughtful approach to heat application. Whether you’re using a Fresh Roast, a Gene Café, or a cast-iron skillet, our beans offer a rewarding challenge.

  • Home Roaster Tip: Because of their high density, Kenyan beans can handle—and often require—a higher charge temperature to unlock those iconic phosphoric acidity levels. Watch for the "first crack" to hear the heritage of the land come alive.
