Product description

Ancient knowledge in every bean

The Kogi tribe still exists since the Pre-Columbian era. And their culture is a true reflection of our past. The Elder Brothers -as they call themselves- have been isolated from the rest of the world while living in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta -a large area of land that covers almost every imaginable ecosystem in the planet, from sea-level to snow-capped mountains.

Coffee is believed to have the power to share the Kogi message of preservation of the Earth with us, the Younger Brothers. And nowadays, with deep respect of their ancient practices, we are able to offer their coffee to the world to support their mission of caring for Mother Earth.

The Younger Brothers has sourced your coffee directly from the family of Vangelio Sauna of the Kogi indigenous community, located in the sacred mountains of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, Colombia.

Coffee and agroforestry production in the Kogi community is based on the fundamental belief system stewarded by the “Hermanos Mayores” (“Elder Brothers”), as the Kogi call themselves, which is mandated by their spiritual elders, the “Mamos”.

The Kogi coffee practices focus on the conservation as well as the restoration of nature, which are the fundamental principles of the Kogi’s “Law of Origin", or “Law of Knowing”.

It is an honor for us to share this with you and your family.

'The Younger Brothers Trading Company' has a mission-driven philosophy that sources authentic indigenous products from the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta mountains, that started via conservation projects and a decade-long friendship with ‘el Cabildo Santos’ and the Kogi ‘Mamos’, the community spiritual leaders, who have given this coffee their sacred blessing.

The YBTC certifies that the coffee you are purchasing is directly sourced from Kogi farmers, and ensures that direct benefit is received by the indigenous Kogi families who produced this coffee.

The coffee you're about to savor is not only wild and free from pesticides and genetically modified beans, but it's also meticulously hand-picked at the precise moment when each cherry reaches its peak ripeness.

Drinking a cup of The Younger Brothers Kogi coffee just feels good. Just try our three different roasts: Kogi Medium Roast, Kogi Sauna Family Medium Roast and Kogi Espresso Roast.
