Huadquiña 'Espresso' – Peru

Stewed Pear • Cacao • Grape Jelly

Our first Peruvian release since 2021 brings us back to Huadquiña, one of Peru's most established co-operatives, situated in the shadow of Machu Picchu.

Huadquiña is defined by its small-scale farming network (300 families), its uniquely high altitude, and its eco-friendly practices. It holds a long list of certifications that affirm its approach, including USDA Organic, EU Organic, and Fair Trade.

Structured yet generous, Huadquiña is a bold espresso while remaining rich and approachable across brew methods.
