The Origin Story

From Kenya's
highlands to
your cup

Kahoa was born from a deep connection to Kenya, where coffee is not just a crop, it is a way of life. Growing up surrounded by the rich red volcanic soils of the Kenyan highlands gave our founder an intimate understanding of what makes Kenyan coffee truly extraordinary.


We work directly with smallholder farmers at elevations above 1,700 metres, where dramatic day-to-night temperature swings slow the cherry's maturation and concentrate the sugars, acids, and aromatics that make Kenyan coffee one of the world's most coveted coffees.


Now roasted in Austin, Texas, we bridge two worlds: the ancient coffee culture of East Africa and the vibrant craft coffee scene of the Lone Star State. Every bag of Kahoa carries that journey in every sip.

A Word from the Founder

As kids, my siblings and I would wake before sunrise to pick coffee cherries alongside our grandparents in the Kenyan highlands. We hauled the harvest to the local factory and watched those red cherries transform through washing, drying, and sorting. When my father took over the farm, I learned coffee from root to roast before I ever tasted a brewed cup. Now in Austin, every bag of Kahoa is my way of completing that journey and putting it in your hands.
Martin Kibuthu, Founder
