About Us

Our company, Solai Coffee, is a farmer-owned business. As the face of our farming community, we focus on the ethics of equitable value distribution and socioeconomic empowerment. Our coffee is single-origin, thus increasing traceability and transparency. Solai Coffee focuses on doing direct business with the farmer, eliminating the middleman, and compensating the farmer fairly.


According to research, between 20% and 30% of coffee farms are female-operated. Women provide up to 70% of the labor in coffee production yet have lower access to resources, such as land, credit, and information, than men, creating a broad gender imbalance. Therefore, our focus on socioeconomic empowerment entails developing programs and opportunities for women and young people to thrive and grow. We aim to ensure that women and young people are at the forefront of our community initiatives.

Our mission is to produce exceptional coffee and challenge the injustices rampant in the Kenyan coffee auction, where price fixing by big importers undermines the livelihoods of small-scale farmers. Through transparent and ethical practices, we strive to disrupt this cycle of exploitation and advocate for a fairer, more inclusive coffee industry. We're committed to fostering a community-driven approach that empowers coffee consumers and farmers. At Solai Coffee, we believe that by working hand in hand with farmers and our consumers, we can create positive change and build a more sustainable future for all stakeholders involved.


At Solai Coffee, we are on a mission to transform the coffee industry!
