The 1997 Renegade Blend Coffee Bean Backstory

In 1997 the world reached a moment of rare unity. Nations gathered in Kyoto to confront a growing global threat and to commit, for the first time in history, to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. It was a turning point, a declaration that the future of the planet mattered and that collective action could shape a better world. The Kyoto Protocol became a symbol of responsibility, cooperation, and the belief that change begins with the choices we make.

Long before sustainability became a global movement, The Nairobi Coffee and Tea Company had already embraced a clean and green philosophy. Farmers were treated as family. The land was respected. By the time the world met in Kyoto, our own commitment to ethical coffee was already decades old.

The Renegade Blend was created to honour that historic moment. It is a bold and spirited coffee, crafted from exceptional beans chosen for their clarity, brightness, and natural vitality. This is not a blend that follows the crowd. It stands apart. It celebrates those who challenge convention, who think differently, and who believe that progress is possible when conscience and craftsmanship work hand in hand.

With every cup you taste the energy of 1997, a year when the world dared to change course. The Renegade Blend is a tribute to that courage. It is modern, vibrant, and unmistakably alive. Enjoy its clean flavour, its confident character, and its quiet reminder that even the smallest choices can help shape a better tomorrow.
