Distinctive coffee.
Rooted in origin.
North Rift Coffee imports, represents and markets specialty coffees and carefully developed blends from Kenya’s North Rift region.
Our focus
We connect origin with opportunity.
From green coffee sourcing to roasted selections and private-label concepts, we help roasters, hospitality businesses and commercial partners develop a coffee offer that fits their customers, market and price point.
01 · Specialty
Single-origin & estate selections
Characterful North Rift coffees selected for clarity, sweetness and a distinctive sense of place. Samples and commercial lots are available subject to harvest season and lot availability.
02 · Blends
Purpose-built coffee blends
Balanced profiles for hospitality, offices and retail. We develop blends around the desired flavour, brewing method, positioning and price point.
The region
High altitude, cool nights and deep agricultural knowledge.
Kenya’s North Rift is a diverse highland region with favourable conditions for slow cherry development. The result can be bright, sweet and layered coffees with profiles ranging from citrus and red fruit to chocolate and florals.
Our aim is not simply to sell a product. We want to communicate provenance clearly, build lasting commercial relationships and create demand for coffees with a clear and authentic connection to their origin.

Brand & market development
Positioning, storytelling, product concepts and practical go-to-market support for North Rift coffee.
