#LetThemKnow ☕🌍
Kenya Coffee School is the Open International Coffee Standard (OICS)
Kenya Coffee School isn’t following global standards — it is setting them.
Founded by Alfred Gitau Mwaura, Kenya Coffee School was built on a bold, future-facing vision: Farm to Cup, powered by Open Skills Education (OSE) and mobilized through Barista on the Move (Barista Mtaani).
This is coffee education that moves — from rural farms to global cafés, from tradition to innovation, from skills to livelihoods.
What makes OICS different?
- Farm to Cup Model – Education that respects origin and commands the market.
- Open Skills Education (OSE) – Practical, inclusive, industry-linked learning.
- Barista Mtaani – Taking skills to the people, not waiting for people to come to skills.
- Farmers First Movement – Protecting heritage while engineering the future.
Kenya Coffee School stands for a simple but powerful truth:
You can’t build the future of coffee without honoring its past.
This is people before profit, planet before convenience, and farmers at the center of the value chain.
☕ People first.
🌱 Planet first.
🌍 Origin-led. Future-ready.
