Margaret Nyamumbo is the founder and CEO of Kahawa 1893 - the first nationally distributed Black, and woman-owned coffee company in the United States. Kahawa 1893 sources specialty-grade coffee beans from woman-owned farming cooperatives in Africa and gives back to support them.
Margaret grew up on her grandfather’s coffee farm in Kenya and saw firsthand that women provided about 90% of the labor, but weren’t always fairly compensated. She founded Kahawa 1893 to help empower the women that make the coffee trade possible and share the exquisite beans they grow with the world. By maintaining direct relationships with woman-run farming co-ops, Kahawa 1893 helps them grow their business and enrich their communities.
Kahawa 1893’s packaging contains a QR code that enables consumers to digitally tip the farmers, enabling them to invest in their businesses, families, and community.
