Kovachii is a certified organic coffee sourced from smallholder farmers in Cajamarca, a region in Northern Peru known for producing some of the country’s most expressive and refined cups. We’re proud to offer a coffee that reflects both the care of the people who grew it and the character of the land it came from.

Coffee farming in Peru is deeply rooted in hands-on, small-scale production. For Kovachii, cherries are harvested, de-pulped, and dried on patios, raised drying beds, or tarps — a process carried out by individual producers on their own farms. The highest-quality selections from these smallholder lots are then carefully combined, milled, and prepared for export.

In the cup, Kovachii is sweet and layered. We’re tasting dark stone fruit up front — think sweet plum — with the familiar, rounded sweetness of cola and a grounding nuttiness of toasted almonds. It’s a comforting, well-balanced coffee that we’re genuinely excited to have on the shelf.

PARTNERSHIP & REGION

Peru is made up of a wide variety of landscapes, from long beaches to high mountains, from the desert to the largest rain forest. In the north, the second highest mountain rage, the Andes, goes through Cajamarca department and converges with the Amazon, creating complex and diverse microclimates.
