A Personal Update from Our Founder
Over the last month or so, I made a conscious decision to pause business activities. As a small business founder, it is not a decision I made lightly; however, losing my dad called for it. My dad—the one who used to joke around and proudly call himself Kanfuela’s very first employee—has passed away.
As many of you know, I got my deep love of coffee from my dad (read Our Story). Long before KANFUELA was an official company, he was my strategist, my master cupper, and the first to taste every single roast and brew I ever created. From sitting down to cut out hundreds of labels by hand, to putting up the very first shelves in our home roastery, his touch is on every part of this journey.
He would wait faithfully for his monthly KANFUELA package and refused to drink anything else. His belief in me ran deeper than my own doubts, and he made me believe this dream was truly possible.
Dad, thank you for passing on your passion. Thank you for building alongside me, for believing in my vision, and for being my superhero. KANFUELA exists because of your faith in me, and you will never, ever be forgotten. I promise to make you proud. Rest in peace, Dr. Godefroy Kabwang. Love you forever.
Signed,
Madame Kanfuela (as you proudly called me.)
