Nairobi Coffee is a long-established wholesale and foodservice roaster operating from an industrial unit in Watford, Hertfordshire, with a tagline of 'Outstanding Coffee Since 1925'. The range is structured around filter, espresso, cafetiere and freeze-dried formats to suit different operator needs.

Their flagship Resource coffee carries triple certification from Fair Trade, the Rainforest Alliance and the Soil Association, an unusual combination for a single product. Beyond Resource, the catalogue spans fair trade, rainforest-certified and classic commercial blends, with origins drawn from Tanzania, Sumatra, India (Mysore and Malabar), Kenya and Yemen.

The company describes its approach as built on 'principles of ethicality and fairness in business', working with suppliers who treat employees fairly and applying guidelines designed to deliver fair value to the farmer. A decaffeinated range and flavoured decaf options are also offered.
