About the roaster
Fire Lily Coffee is a Certified B Corporation (B Corp) specialty coffee roaster based in Dundee, Oregon, in the Willamette Valley southwest of Portland. We sell 100% single-origin Kenyan coffee and Kenyan-grown macadamia nuts, roasted in small batches in Oregon. Formerly known as Exilior Coffee, we have been B Corp certified since December 2021. Fire Lily is co-founded by Kenyan-born Francis Kungu and Maya Benham. We import directly through our own entity, Jamii Coffee, using a zero-tier direct-trade model that cuts out the middlemen between our partner farms and your bag. Our partners include Imani Farm and Charles Mutwiri’s Mukarimu Farm in Meru County. Farmers are paid a Living Income Price, and our coffee grows alongside macadamia trees in regenerative agroforestry systems. We also fund impact causes in Kenya and in Oregon. Coffees: Savannah (light roast); Zawadi (medium roast); Champion (medium dark roast); and Binti (dark roast). Macadamias: Natural Roasted, Lightly Salted and Dark Chocolate.
