Junín – Chanchamayo
Andrés cultivates his lot at 1,429 masl in the APROSEM community. His washed Caturra delivers chocolate and panela sweetness with a silky body — honest coffee from the heart of the Selva Central.

Benigno Rayme Grande
Huaynapata, Yanatile, Calca, Cusco
Cusco – Calca – Yanatile
Don Benigno inherited the Mesapata farm from his parents and convinced his wife to dedicate the family land to specialty coffee. At 2,000 masl, their 4-hectare plot has become the economic sustenance of the family, and Don Benigno has been part of the Valleinca association since its beginnings.

Lote Benigno Rayme — Bourbon LavadoBrew Philosophy
Great coffee is never an accident. It's a chain of precise decisions — from seed selection to water temperature — and we obsess over every link.
Sourcing
Direct relationships with producers in four Peruvian regions. We cup every lot at origin before buying. No middlemen, no commodity markets.
Roast Profile
Small-batch roasting to bring out the best of each origin. Every coffee gets a custom profile that highlights its terroir — never a one-size-fits-all approach.
Barista Training
Every barista is carefully trained to ensure consistency and quality in every cup. Regular calibration sessions keep our team sharp and our coffee exceptional.
Water & Consistency
Purified through activated carbon filters for crystal-clean water. Espresso machines dialed in hourly. Because the best beans deserve water that doesn't get in the way.
