Grown in the Ancient Way by

The Inga Community

The Inga community of Aponte is comprised of descendants of the ancient, pre-hispanic Incas. During the period of conquest, they remained isolated high in the mountains that became their natural refuge. This community did not resume significant contact with the rest of Colombia until the second half of the nineteenth century. Unfortunately, in the 1990’s, contact was mostly criminal, and the Inga’s refuge became a place of cruelty. For years the tribe was forcibly involved in poppy and heroin production under the influence of guerrilla groups, drug traffickers, and paramilitaries. The once-peaceful mountains teemed with illegal plantations and violence, in which the Ingas were trapped until as recently as fifteen years ago.

In the last decade the mountains have become a safe zone for the Inga tribe, and illegal crops were eradicated to give way to a new culture: coffee!

Regeneratively Farmed

High-Altitude Grown

Located in the southwestern coastal region of Colombia, Narino shares a southern border with Ecuador and is home to thousands of smallholder coffee producing families. Colombia’s three ranges of Andean mountains converge in Nariño, presenting ideal altitudes and fertile soil for high grown Arabica production.

The Caturra variety has been planted in the Inga territory, on smallholder properties in the Resguardo Inga Aponte, at an average of 2150 meters above sea level. This elevation, combined with the Galeras Volcano constantly shedding nutrient-rich ash, makes for an exceptionally complex and sweet coffee.

Honey-Processed

Complexity & Sweetness

Producers process coffee on their own properties, drying Honey coffee in stacked raised bed solar dryers on their farms. This process reduces water used for washing coffee and complements the natural complexity of coffees from this special region.

Testimonials

★★★★★

This incredible coffee is hard to describe. It is soft, balanced and bright. The ‘incredible’ comes from the vibration you feel drinking this beautiful brew. It isn’t related to caffeine. It is an energy. I highly recommend trying a cup in order to understand. Amazing!

Sacred Cups coffee is absolutey INCREDIBLE. But it is more than just a coffee. I love the mission of Sacred Cups to teach the connection, ritual, and intention with coffee. As well as sharing the stories of the indigenous farms! My morning routine since bringing in Sacred Cups has been so much sweeter and intentional. HIGHLY recommend!!

    Great dark roast

    Most dark roasts are too dark for me but this is great! Just the right amount of roast and balanced with this wonderful coffee.
