The brand name "Ukiira" [oak-era] holds a special meaning for us as it pays homage to our grandfather, the late Ex-Senior Chief Moses Mukira, who was a trailblazer in social capital and pioneered coffee farming in our family. "Ukira" has several meanings “stand” or "arise" or "awaken," which speaks to our mission of uplifting the voices of the communities that produce coffee in Kenya. We added an extra "i" to "ukira" to create a unique and memorable brand name.
By associating our brand with our grandfather's legacy, we strive to create a cohesive and consistent message that resonates with our customers and sets us apart in the market.
Our Story
Our family's passion for coffee began when the late Ex-Senior Chief Moses Mukira, the patriarch of the Mukira family, planted his first coffee tree in 1954 in the highlands of Nyeri County, Central Kenya. As the third generation, we are committed to continuing this legacy by taking it to new heights.
That's why we founded a coffee company in the USA and Kenya that sells speciality roasted coffee, ensuring that each cup is a unique and delicious experience.
But our commitment goes beyond just selling exceptional coffee. A portion of our proceeds is donated to local schools in honor of our grandfather, who was a champion of education and social development. By choosing our coffee, you're not just treating yourself to a delicious cup of joe, you're also supporting a legacy of hard work and dedication to education and social development.
Join us on this journey and experience the unique and exceptional taste of Ukiira Coffee. Our coffee is not only a great way to start your day, but it's also a way to make a difference in the world. Order now and taste the difference for yourself!
