The story behind this coffee:

Our adventure in coffee began many years ago.

My husband’s family business had always been coffee —from farming to exporting and roasting. Since he practically grew up in it, he developed vast experience in this industry.

In my case, I had never had coffee until I got married in 1990. I started to work in his family business, which I joined at the insistence of my father-in-law. Soon enough, I discovered the joys of this fascinating but full-of-challenges coffee world. At that time our country was at the end of a difficult political period and this opened new opportunities for business.

During the time that we worked at the family business, we gained invaluable knowledge and experience.

In 2014, the family business was going through a difficult period. Out of this, we decided to restructure the business into different divisions. With the help of a partner, and our background we decided to develop a new, more specialized business: K&R Specialty Coffee.

Our business was born with the idea of offering specialty coffee, prepared with different types of processes, stored and packed to preserve quality. A secondary arm of the business is handling and logistics.

From the moment the coffee is harvested, our lots of specialty coffees are carefully looked after. They are then classified, hand-picked, and subsequently packed for shipment.
