Menu
-
Our coffee is sourced directly from Peru’s finest farms, where each harvest brings unique flavours shaped by the land and season.
The selection changes throughout the year because we work with small growers—meaning every cup is fresh, distinct, and limited.
Espresso
Americano
Flat White
Cappuccino
We also have a decaf coffee option: a sparkling water decaf blend, where sparkling water is used to process the beans in a clean way and 100% chemical-free.
