A Coffee With Heritage

Descendants of the Inca Empire, the Inga community of southern Colombia found refuge in remote mountains during Spanish conquest, preserving their ancient culture. After generations marked by conflict and displacement, they've embraced coffee cultivation on their volcanic soils as a path to renewal.

Today, 200 Inga smallholders produce exceptional coffee using both traditional and modern techniques. Their careful processing includes 8-24 hour fermentation periods and 10-15 day drying on raised beds, resulting in a clean, refined cup with bright pomegranate acidity, vanilla sweetness, and a rich sugarcane body.

More than just a beverage, this coffee represents the community's resilience and cultural revival. Farming at some of Colombia's highest elevations, the Inga have transformed their history into a story of sustainable success and quality.
