LIBAMBA COFFEE LIMITED
Libamba Coffee Limited was founded in 2011 as small and medium enterprise (SME) by two youthful Kenyan ladies. It was started by a young Kenyan entrepreneurial lady, Lavender, who was passionate about growing and exporting specialty Kenyan coffee. Lavender’s passion for coffee growing attracted the attention of a financial credit expertise, Monicah, yet another young Kenyan entrepreneur to found Libamba Coffee.
Over the years, the duo initially combined their expertise to venture into and serve the Kenyan domestic coffee market by specializing in roasting and serving the niche coffee market. A nascent quality conscious generation third wave was at its initial mass function in the country and the duo worked on the concept of connecting with the Kenyan youth to popularize the high end coffee drinking culture in Kenya’s local universities where coffee consumption was gradually taking root.
With that, the enterprise grew and broadened its portfolio from serving the university coffee houses to offering high quality green coffee for export. Even though the new export portfolio was initially challenging, consistency and mutual trust have seen the growth of the embryonic coffee SME to one of the best coffee exporters in Kenya.
