Rapper Jadakiss Debuts Family Coffee Line 40 Years in the Making
Teaming up with his father and son for the new Kiss Café.
Rapper Jadakiss, whose real name is Jason Phillips, has followed in his father’s footsteps by venturing into the coffee industry. Teaming up with his father Bob Phillips and son Jaewon Phillips, the family has launched the new coffee line Kiss Café.
The company brings together not only three generations of lineage but also builds upon Bob’s 40-year career in the coffee industry, with over 20 years spent as CEO of Caturra Corp., an importing and trading firm for international green coffees. Jaewon joined the company in 2018 and has worked alongside him ever since.
Kiss Café’s first product is its “Beijo” beans, a medium-dark roast Arabica blend sourced from Central America. Priced at $14.99 USD, the product will be available in both whole bean and ground options. The logo pictured on the bag — three intertwined coffee beans — pays homage to the Phillips family and its long-running tradition of working in the coffee industry.
“This coffee is for all coffee lovers,” Jadakiss said. “No specific age or background or knowledge. Coffee is a universal and a personal thing. Everyone enjoys it differently. And, we’re here to help them do that.”
Kiss Café products are available for purchase on the company’s website. In the coming months, the family plans to announce its first retail partners.
