Kisbi Coffee was born out of the desire to bring great tasting coffees to coffee lovers far and near, with a consistent taste and quality every time.
“After traveling to Costa Rica for 20 years, I quickly became accustomed to the superior taste of their coffee,” said Bernie Ijimakin. He is co-owner of Kisbi Coffee.
“I first went to Costa Rica because I wanted to learn Spanish. If a person wants to learn a language, the best way is to get immersed in the culture.”
Being a coffee aficionado himself. Bernie fell in love with Costa Rican coffee. Now Kisbi offers seven different varieties of Costa Rican premium arabica coffee, picked by the coffee growers themselves. In addition, Kisbi Coffee offers premium coffee from Kenya, Ethiopia, as well as a decaffeinated blend of Brazilian and Columbian coffees.
