The life of a Barista is a never ending love affair with customers.

Come unwind and be rejuvenated at Mai Shayi Coffee Roasters. We are located on the Podium floor of Sapetro Towers on Victoria Island’s Adeola Odeku street.

Building the Coffee Ecosystem

We believe the resurgence of Nigerian coffee cannot stop at the farm.

A strong coffee industry needs skilled people, quality equipment, professional training and places where great coffee can be experienced.

That is why Mai Shayi Coffee extends beyond roasting.

We provide professional coffee equipment, training, installation and after-sales support to cafés, hotels, restaurants and other hospitality businesses. Our partnership with Nuova Simonelli allows us to bring professional espresso technology into the same ecosystem as our coffee and technical expertise.

Our cafés are where this ecosystem becomes tangible — spaces designed around coffee, hospitality and the simple pleasure of taking time to experience a well-made cup.

A Nigerian Company Building for What Comes Next

Our ambition is not simply to make better coffee. It is to help build a stronger Nigerian coffee industry.

That means working with farmers. Developing infrastructure. Investing in people. Improving quality. Creating professional opportunities. Introducing better equipment and training. And telling the stories of Nigerian coffee with the confidence they deserve.

The recognition we have received — including being named one of seven global finalists in the SCA Sustainability Awards 2026 — is encouraging, but it is not the destination.

There is still much to build.

From the farms of the Jos Plateau to our cafés and hospitality partners, we are building a coffee company that connects origin to cup, and heritage to what comes next.

This is Mai Shayi Coffee.

The resurgence of Nigerian coffee is already underway.

Three tiers, one Nigerian story: introducing the 2026 line

August 19, 2026|Mai Shayi Coffee

Three coffees. Three expressions. One Nigerian story.

Our collections are not simply different products. Each one reveals a different part of the journey we are building at Mai Shayi Coffee.

Mountain Arabica carries the history of Nigerian Arabica and the legacy of the Berom farming communities. It connects today’s coffee to an origin that has endured through generations.

Amina represents heritage, strength, and our own relationship with the land. Named for Queen Amina of Zazzau and sourced from our Shen Estate, it is the first lot our farm sends to the roaster after each harvest.

House of Mai Shayi is our fullest expression of the season. It is reserved for exceptional coffees selected through careful sourcing, processing, cupping, and roasting — the coffees worthy of carrying the House name.

Together, they form three tiers of experience, but they share one foundation: Nigerian soil, Nigerian people, and our commitment to bringing exceptional Nigerian coffee to the world.

Three tiers. One Nigerian story.
