URME
COFFEE
Specialty Coffee with a Purpose
The goal of URME is to partner growers and millers in Meru, Kenya with consumers around the world. Before URME, supply chain limitations discouraged locals from cultivating their coffee. We've changed that by eliminating valueless transactions. The other key to URME is ensuring the farmers and millers are compensated with a living wage. We like to think it's the fairest of trade.

The Team
Who We Are
Ben, Christian and Eric started URME coffee in 2016 to bring the best Kenyan coffee to you. We have committed to provide living wages to the farmers cultivating the world's best single origin coffee.
Ben Wheeler
Interface Coordinator
Oil and gas professional turned coffee runner. Okay, not so much running as legitimate importing of the world's best Kenyan coffee. Ben was the driving force behind URME's formation and much of the horse power that kept the idea alive.
Christian Washingon
Marketing Coordinator
Christian is the catalyst in relationship development with suppliers and customers. He has led multiple mission trips to Kenya. His efforts have helped this project move from concept to reality.
Eric Maier
Customer Coordinator
Curb tiler by day, tinkerer by night and full time coffee consumer. Eric spent more than a decade making connections in the offshore oil and gas world. Now he's connecting URME to the coffee industry and consumers.
