Kofi Coffee

Kofi is a Philadelphia coffee company built on the principle of selling only fresh gourmet coffee.  We treat coffee as a perishable, baked good and therefore package our coffee in small quantities and pull them off the shelves of stores if they are not sold within 35 days.  The pulled bags are replaced with fresh coffee.  Currently, bags of Kofi coffee are being retailed in select grocery stores in Philadelphia with a goal in the near future to open up our own location.  We hope that nobody will ever have to drink stale, bitter coffee again. Kofi is Coffee.  If it is not fresh, we will not sell it.
