Incahuasi

Rooted in Inca heritage and shaped by the rugged Andean landscape that defines the coffee’s journey, the remote communities of Peru’s Incahuasi Valley are united by a shared commitment to quality. Coffee is grown at elevations of 1,600 to 2,400 meters and carefully processed through collective infrastructure. The resulting coffee delivers flavors reminiscent of golden raisin, almond, and caramel.

Sourced from the high-elevation terrain of the Incahuasi Valley in Peru, this offering from Counter Culture Coffee highlights the distinct character of a region defined by its rugged, mountainous landscape. Coffees grown at such significant elevations—ranging here between 1600 and 2400 masl—often develop a slower maturation process, which can contribute to the density and complexity found in the final cup.
