About Us
KAFELONE® was established in 2021 by an imaginative soul, someone looking to create something wonderful. It wasn't a lack of coffee that drove them to this style of product delivery, but rather the joy of experimenting with new recipes and a magical coffee experience.Seven years earlier, a young Kenyan named Japhet Miano Kariuki had ventured into the global business of management consulting. It was on a business trip to Bogota, Colombia in 2014 that Japhet first experienced Bogota’s coffeehouses, and he returned to Makati, Philippines inspired to bring authenticity, cordialness, warmth, and artistry within the coffee culture to KAFELONE®.KAFELONE® plans to open its first stores along the busy streets of Makati. It is here where we shall offer fresh-roasted coffee beans, Tskolate, tea, and pastries from around the world for our customers to enjoy in-house and also take home. In a bid to be in direct control of the entire process, we plan to start our Coffee Roastery in 2025.
Rubiaceae : Coffea Arabica
Sources say that coffee started to be farmed and cultivated in Kenya around 1893, when the French Holy Ghost Fathers introduced coffee trees from Reunion Island. Farms near Nairobi, the capital town of Kenya, had been utilized as the center around which Kenyan coffee culture was created.
Kafelone is our celebration of this history, heritage, hard work and foundation laid by our ancestors.
What's in a Name?
A journey back in our history and we find the word "Kabiarũ", this is what the natives of Mt.Kenya called coffee, the dark drink that the European so much enjoyed. The local Kikuyu Community could not pronounce "coffee alone" -the way espresso was ordered back then- easily and thus they coined the word “Kabiarũ” and thus the native name for coffee was born.A century later, coffee is a celebrated export earner of the Kenyan economy and is widely drunk globally by people from all walks of life.
"Kabiarũ" or Kafelone, It's the beans!
