The Mission

Two Cities.
One Cup. One Purpose.

Padiri Coffee Lab bridges Houston and Rwanda through specialty coffee. All coffee is single-origin arabica beans directly from Rwanda by way of Umuko Coffee.  These beans are roasted by brilliant roasters at Matriarch Coffee and shipped around the world. Every bag is a direct line between Rwanda and the world.

"Padiri" means "Father" in Kinyarwanda. This brand was built on the belief that when you invest in people — farmers, families, communities — the return is immeasurable. A portion of every purchase funds ethical coffee practices, agricultural programs and farmers workingin Rwanda's coffee-growing regions.

#PadiriCoffeeLab — Sip With Purpose. Bridge the Gap.
