The story of Livin La Vida Mocha
Created in 2020 by me (Ramya Sehmi), and inspired by the hit single "Livin la Vida Loca" (living the crazy life) by the King of Latin pop, Ricky Martin and my unwavering passion for coffee, music, and life, came... Livin La Vida Mocha - by my definition, living life with coffee in one hand and I guess a little bit of chaos in the other... AH life.
I'm not into superstitions, black cats (well, they are beautiful) or voodoo dolls, just here to share my passion and knowledge about coffee, my experiences, reads and to inspire and create a network of passionate go-getters.
Here's a little about how my passion for coffee brewed...
Back home in Kenya, I soaked up everything coffee. I learned bean-to-cup from an independent roaster, took hands-on brewing classes at small cafés, experimented at home with our first Chemex, moka pot, and espresso machine, and even got a front-row seat to the retail and consumer side of things through East Africa’s largest coffee-led restaurant chain.
From there, my curiosity only grew stronger. 365 cups of coffee and a global pandemic later… Livin La Vida Mocha was born.
For me, Livin La Vida Mocha is about more than just brewing or sipping on coffee. It’s more than the perfect Instagram shot.
It’s about passion, depth, curiosity, and the unseen alchemy, not only in coffee, but in life.
So, if you're a coffee lover like me, you've got to come along, explore the world. Trust me — Livin La Vida Mocha has plenty to pour your way.
Lots of love,
