What happens when Kenyan farmers meet Mexican Farmers?

You get Umoja, our new seasonal collaboration with CREDO Coffee Roasters in Orlando.

Umoja means “unity” in Swahili, and that idea is at the heart of our newest seasonal coffee.

This light roast blends two coffee origins and features bright, distinctive notes of lemon, clove, and peach tea.

A fresh addition to your coffee rotation and a chance to experience something different. Buy from the Solai Coffee website or Credo Coffee Roasters. When we work together, we all win together

Can coffee be sustainable if the next generation can’t see a future in growing it?

At the Rollins College Coffee Crawl, Peter shared a farmer’s perspective on People, Planet and Profit—from livelihoods and education to reusing coffee pulp, carefully managing processing water, supporting agro-circularity, and building trade relationships that make reinvestment possible.

This is ongoing work, not a claim that every challenge has been solved. It’s a conversation about helping farming support families, land and the next generation.

What would make farming a future you’d want to inherit?

We're diving into the full documentation of every processing method available on the estate. By the end, you'll never read a coffee bag the same way again.

A birthday cake. A new uniform. A book and a pencil. Small gifts that give children something to look forward to.

A teacher at Solai Nyakinyua Primary School recently shared what your support means. Children are eager to come to school because they don’t want to miss the birthday celebrations. Uniforms help them feel confident and participate in class. Books, pens, pencils, and socks give them essentials they need.

Teachers are feeling encouraged, too. And the teacher shared that these celebrations are helping attract new families and encouraging more parents to support their children’s attendance.

As we mark two years of working directly with the school, we’re raising funds for our next children’s birthday celebration and the closing day ceremony. We want to celebrate the children, their efforts, and another year of learning together.

Your gift can go twice as far. One of our team members has pledged to match contributions dollar for dollar over the coming month.

Give $10, and it becomes $20. Give $50, and it becomes $100.

"On the ground, coffee is a poor man's business. But on the other side of the supply chain, coffee is a rich man's business."
John said it standing in the family coffee field in Kenya's Rift Valley. A mango, you can just chew it. Coffee? Every process matters , the farm, the vehicle, the milling, the shipping, all the way to the cup in your hand.
Today we celebrate the people at the very start of that chain. 🌍

📝 Context: "Rich man's business" is a symbolic Kenyan expression for the Western/export market, where coffee reaches its highest value. It is not a statement about any person or group — it's how farmers describe where the value of their crop ultimately lands.
