My Personal Coffee Journey

Hello and welcome to the unofficial Lisha Coffee blog. I'm Onaolapo, and I'm delighted you're here!

My love for coffee didn't start overnight. It began subtly, evolving slowly into the delightful passion it is today. Initially, coffee was simply my companion during late-night study sessions while earning my degrees in Computer Electronics Engineering and Information Systems Technology. Back then, it was merely a tool—something to keep me alert through endless assignments and exams.

However, my perspective shifted dramatically during my military service in the U.S. Army. Coffee became more than just a beverage; it became a source of comfort, camaraderie, and connection amid challenging times. Sharing a steaming cup with fellow soldiers early in the morning or during long, exhausting nights created bonds and memories that I'll cherish forever.

After medically retiring from the Army, I delved deeper into coffee culture. I began experimenting with brewing methods, flavors, and blends. From French press and pour-over methods to exploring local cafes, each experience opened new dimensions and sparked an ever-growing curiosity.

Today, my passion is more than just enjoying a cup of coffee—it's about sharing this joy and knowledge with others. I came across Lisha Coffee when I was searching for the best-tasting coffee that also supports low-income small-scale farmers. My research pointed to Lisha Coffee, which was imported directly from Kenya. I love that every sip of Lisha coffee will nourish the soil and people and create an independent household that will thrive and support the community around it for many years to come. 

Through Lisha Coffee, I aim to inspire fellow coffee enthusiasts, beginners, and seasoned baristas alike to explore and appreciate coffee's rich, flavorful universe.

In a time where life feels rushed and overstimulated, coffee can become a grounding ritual. Not just something we drink, but something we experience. A pause. A breath. A moment of focus before the day takes over.

This blog is dedicated to:

  • Coffee rituals that support calm productivity

  • Morning routines that bring clarity and intention

  • Simple brewing methods for everyday life

  • Thoughtful reflections inspired by quiet moments and warm cups

Whether you’re a creative, entrepreneur, remote worker, or simply someone who values peaceful mornings, Lisha Coffee is here to remind you that small rituals can create meaningful change.

Pour slowly. Sip mindfully. Live deliberately.

Join me on this aromatic journey. Let's brew something extraordinary together!

Warm regards,
Onaolapo
