Cusco Reserva

This coffee comes from independent smallholder farmers in the region of Cusco in southern Peru. It's the oldest continuously inhabited area in the Americas, where the ancient Incas built massive cities such as Cusco and the famed royal residence of Machu Picchu.

Today, living among these highland ruins, a group of small-scale coffee farmers carries on the spirit of their ancestors. It's with these farmers that we've partnered to produce this amazing lot. We hope you'll enjoy this beautiful expression of Peruvian coffee, knowing it was grown on soil enriched with centuries of history.
