Kenko is a well-established coffee brand that originated in the United Kingdom. Originally founded in 1923 as the Kenya Coffee Company, it initially specialized in sourcing and roasting high-quality coffee beans from Kenya for the British market. Over the decades, it evolved into a household name known for its instant coffee, vacuum-packed roast and ground coffee, and eco-friendly packaging solutions like the 'Eco-Refill' packs.

Today, the brand is part of the global coffee giant JDE Peet's. While its heritage is firmly rooted in the UK, the manufacturing process occurs across various European facilities to serve a broad international market. This transition from a niche specialty roaster to a global brand reflects the consolidation of the beverage industry under large multinational conglomerates while maintaining the brand's reputation for premium quality and sustainability.
