Andean Ascension

Product Description

Discover the unrivaled taste of our Andean Ascension, a single-origin coffee from the highlands of Peru. Each medium-roast bean delivers a symphony of flavors: the subtle sweetness of salted caramel, a soft, silky undertone, and a playful hint of citrus. Harvested from the lush terrains of Piura and Amazonas, these fair-trade and organic-certified beans are a testament to sustainable farming practices. The Andean Ascension features a blend of Caturra, Bourbon, Catuai, Pache, and Catimor varieties that imbue a unique flavor profile, owing to their growth at altitudes of 1100 to 1700 meters. The beans are processed using a meticulous fully washed method and sun-dried to perfection, promising a vibrant, clean cup that celebrates the rich heritage of Peruvian coffee.

Product Story

The story of Andean Ascension begins in the awe-inspiring landscapes of Piura and Amazonas, Peru, where the might of the Andean mountains meets the wonder of the Amazon basin. This enchanting blend was inspired by the strength and resilience of the individuals we stand to support: those battling addiction and homelessness. Just as the coffee cherries defy the odds, growing in the mineral-rich soil and thriving at high altitudes, so do these individuals ascend from their personal struggles towards recovery and reintegration.

The name "Andean Ascension" was chosen to reflect this narrative of resilience and the power of human spirit. It symbolizes the arduous climb many face in their journey to overcome homelessness and addiction, much like the coffee beans' journey from the steep Andean slopes. It echoes our mission, emphasizing the crucial role of education, mentorship, and community in this uphill battle.

Each cup of Andean Ascension serves as a reminder of the strength within us all and the immense potential for societal change when we unite under a shared cause. Just as these beans bridge the gap between the serenity of the Peruvian Andes and your coffee mug, we hope to bridge the gap between struggle and success, one cup at a time.
