A Kenyan gentleman has achieved remarkable success by capitalizing on an unconventional fusion of Kikuyu tradition, this time across the seas in the United Kingdom, affectionately known as the “land of honey and milk.” King’ori Wambaki, a Kikuyu man with a rich history in the UK, has been in the country for more than 27 years. What started as a pursuit of education eventually evolved into a thriving business venture.
Wambaki’s unique creation, “Muratelia,” has become a sensation, with prices ranging from £10 to £25, whether it is served at eateries or retailed. Notably, this blend’s secret lies in the innovative use of locally available ingredients in the UK, as procuring them from Kenya proved to be a cumbersome and expensive endeavor.
Hailing from Othaya in Nyeri County, Wambaki openly shared that his business has not only thrived but surpassed his wildest expectations. In comparison to his previous employment, the profits he now enjoys are beyond his imagination.
Wambaki has taken an inventive approach to promote his “Muratelia” blend, incorporating aspects of modeling into his marketing strategy. Despite facing limited competition, he expresses his deep satisfaction with the path he has chosen, emphasizing that it’s a dream job come true.
