KAHAWA 1893 :: PURE KENYAN COFFEE (EP 331)

CEO and Founder of Kahawa 1893 Margaret Nyamumbo is the first Black woman-owned coffee brand to be sold in Trader Joe's. The Harvard graduate quit her job as a Wall Street investment banker to become a third-generation Kenyan coffee farmer. Margaret saw how Kenyan women provided over 90% of labor in the African coffee industry. Sadly, these women farmers are largely uncompensated for their work and own just 1% of farmland in their country. It is the only brand that allows customers to directly tip the farmers via electronic payment. The brand offers a QR code on its packaging and a link on its website so customers can send a tip to the farmer's e-wallet. 100% of proceeds go directly to the female coffee producers the brand works with, and it matches all tips to double the impact. Maggy joins Justin to discuss this new coffee brand!
