Our Story
Born over a drink.
Built on community.
What began as a gathering of a community over drinks in July 2023 evolved into something more. In January 2024, our passion for connection led us to the world of specialty coffee.
Today, we are a Kenyan specialty coffee roaster and exporter built on the values of exceptional quality, vibrant community, and ethical and sustainable practices. Our mission is to celebrate 'Life & Love Over a Drink,' one perfectly brewed cup at a time.

What We Stand For
Our Values
Quality Without Compromise
Specialty-grade arabica only. Every lot is cupped and scored before it reaches our roaster. We don't compromise on the cup — ever.
Community at the Core
We invest in the farmers, families, and networks behind Kenyan coffee — from direct producer partnerships to open cupping events in Nairobi.
Sustainability as Standard
From how our coffee is produced to how we pack, every decision considers the land, the growers, and the generations that come after us.
Ethics in Every Cup
Fair prices, honest practices, and transparent supply chains. We hold ourselves accountable — to our farmers, our customers, and our community.
Wacera, the Founder
A purpose-driven entrepreneur with a background in finance, operations, and business management, currently completing her MBA at the University of Warwick, UK.
Wacera is deeply passionate about coffee — and the connections it creates. She believes in nurturing Kenya's coffee culture while ensuring farmers are fairly compensated and genuinely celebrated for their craft.
On evenings and weekends, you'll find her exploring cafés and farms, deepening her love and understanding of specialty coffee — always over a good cup shared with good people.
Proudly Kenyan
Roasted at origin.
Shared with the world.
Kenya grows some of the world's most celebrated coffees — prized for their bright acidity, complex fruit notes, and remarkable depth. At Over A Drink, we roast here, in Nairobi, preserving the character of every bean and telling the story of the land it came from.
As a Kenyan-born brand, we believe that the excellence we grow at origin should be the excellence we enjoy at home — and share abroad with pride.
"The excellence we grow at origin should be the excellence we enjoy at home."
