The SOL blend

Sol, our new "yellow" blend, takes its name from our Sun, promising a coffee experience that guides you to new discoveries. Bursting with sweet, fruity, and complex flavors reminiscent of berry compote, marzipan, and cream, the Sol was roasted to lead drinkers toward a richer understanding of the diverse and dynamic world of coffee.

Peru Calca

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.
