Lamu & Nairobi: Retail-Exclusive African Coffee Blends | Kahawa 1893
If you’ve recently found Lamu or Nairobi on the coffee shelf, you’ve discovered two retail-exclusive Kahawa 1893 coffee bags created for select stores.
These coffees are part of our in-store collection, which means they may not appear as regular products on our website. Lamu and Nairobi were created to give customers another way to experience Kahawa 1893 in retail, with two blends inspired by Kenya and crafted for everyday enjoyment.
Both coffees reflect our connection to African coffee, our Kenyan roots, and our mission to help ensure women farmers benefit from the work behind each harvest.
Lamu: Smooth, Slow, and Comforting
Lamu is inspired by the serene island off Kenya’s coast known for its peaceful rhythm and coastal beauty. This blend was created to feel smooth, balanced, and easy to enjoy slowly. It’s an invitation to pause and savor the moment while drinking a comforting cup of coffee.

Lamu has tasting notes of chocolate and brown sugar, giving it a warm, naturally sweet flavor profile. It’s a great choice for anyone looking for a delicious cup with cozy, familiar notes.
Nairobi: Bright, Lively, and Smooth
Nairobi is inspired by Kenya’s capital city, where tradition and modern life meet. This blend reflects the energy of that city: lively, bright, and full of character. It was crafted as an easy-drinking coffee with a smooth finish and a vibrant flavor profile.

Nairobi has tasting notes of milk chocolate and vanilla, making it a flavorful everyday coffee for mornings, afternoon breaks, or any moment that calls for a bright, tasty cup.
Reminder: Lamu and Nairobi Are Retail-Exclusive
Lamu and Nairobi were created specifically for select retail partners. Because of that, they are available in-store and are not currently sold as standard products on the Kahawa 1893 website.
You may find them on shelves at participating retailers as part of our retail-exclusive coffee collection. Availability may vary by store and location.
You might also find some of our other coffees in stores, including Safari Blend, Serengeti Blend, Tanzania Peaberry, and our Ethiopian coffee. These blends are also available online whenever you’re ready to indulge in your favorite cup of naturally sweet, clean, antioxidant-rich African coffee.
