The Rioki Estate, situated on the southern slopes of the Aberdare Ranges in Kenya, is known for its rich volcanic soils and high altitudes. Beans from this estate are handpicked and meticulously washed to ensure exceptional cup quality. The estate’s processing methods preserve the intrinsic qualities of the beans, offering a clean and vibrant flavor profile.

Calca comes to us from the heart of Cusco, the ancient capital of Peru during the Tahuantinsuyo, or Inca Empire.
In Cusco, every corner is full of history.
A renowned region for both its history and coffee, it maintains vestiges of what was once the most important power in all of South America.

Deep in Cusco we find the city of Calca. Pre-Inca, the town that occupied this area was called Kallka, and the farmers there are an indigenous group called Lliplleq.
In Calca we find some of the best coffee quality in all of Peru, where the coffee is rooted within the heritage of this unique subregion and its people.
