Our Story

Kenyan Originals was founded in 2018 with the mission to build truly authentic African craft beverage products. Beverages that are made with real Kenyan ingredients. Beverages that built on Kenyan traditions of drink making but with a modern twist. We are building our craft over time by getting to know the best fruit varieties or ingredients, from the best regions, so we get the best taste for our beverages. This sourcing approach as well as experimenting with new ingredients and methods, is taking our beverages from strength to strength.

 

We want to help showcase originality from Kenyan talent. The movers, the shakers, the risk takers, the Kenyan Originals. We want to collaborate with these fearless individuals, to help both them and us grow. Our north star remains to make original Kenyan craft beverages that taste fantastic. We will keep experimenting, learning and refining our craft to ensure we have the best quality drinks in town.
We are Kenyan Originals.
