Kai Coffee

In 2011, Kai Coffee Founders Sean and Emily Naus set off to Australia with their 9 month old son Elijah Kai on an adventure that would forever change their lives. Sean had always been a massive coffee fan and thought he knew good coffee until he stumbled upon a little cafe in Byron Bay, New South Wales. The flavor of the coffee and texture of the milk was unlike anything he had ever experienced in America and he was hooked! Sean and Emily had always had a heart for children in the developing world who were hungry and in need of care. 6 months after moving to Australia they decided to try an experiment. Could they roast coffee and sell it at markets to help send funds to Uganda, Africa and bless kids in need? They ordered a small 500g coffee roaster and Kai Coffee was born. 9 years later that little home experiment grew into a full fledged roasting distribution and training company. Kai Coffee has supplied over 80 cafes around Australia and growing everyday. Last year they were able to send 200,000 meals to kids in Uganda through the work of the Shepherd Center in the South West corner of Uganda and Feed The Hungry, Australia in Northern Uganda.
