Wild and Authentic: Discover the Essence of Kogi Coffee

Immerse yourself in the untamed essence of Kogi Coffee, where authentic tradition meets bold flavors. Handpicked by indigenous hands that have cultivated the land for generations, this coffee embodies the harmony between humankind and the earth. At The Younger Brothers, we are deeply committed to honoring the legacy of the Elder Brothers—the Kogi and Arhuaco indigenous communities of Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta. Our mission is to share the untouched beauty of their land and culture with the world through fair trade partnerships that uplift communities and preserve their pristine environment.

Ancient Wisdom in Every Bean

The Kogi tribe has thrived since the Pre-Columbian era, maintaining a culture deeply rooted in their past. Known as the "Elder Brothers," they reside in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, encompassing diverse ecosystems from sea-level to snow-capped mountains. Coffee, for the Kogi, serves as a vessel to impart their message of Earth preservation. With utmost respect for their ancient practices, we proudly offer their coffee to support their mission.

The Younger Brothers Kogi Coffee: Sauna Family 12 oz bag

Sourced directly from the Vangelio Sauna family of the Kogi indigenous community, nestled in the sacred mountains of Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, Colombia.

A Message from the Elder Brothers

The Kogi community’s coffee and agroforestry practices are guided by their spiritual elders, the "Mamos," under the mandate of their "Law of Origin." This ethos focuses on conserving and restoring nature, reflecting their deep reverence for the Earth.

Wild, Sacred, Direct

The Younger Brothers Trading Company is driven by a mission to source authentic indigenous products from the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta mountains. Through conservation efforts and a decade-long partnership with 'el Cabildo Santos' and the Kogi Mamos, spiritual leaders of the community, we have received their sacred blessing to offer this coffee. We certify that each purchase directly benefits Kogi families who cultivate this coffee.

Hand-Picked Excellence

Our coffee is not only organic, free from pesticides and genetically modified beans, but also meticulously hand-picked at the peak of ripeness. Enjoy the goodness of The Younger Brothers Kogi coffee, available in three distinct roasts: Kogi Medium Roast, Kogi Sauna Family Medium Roast, and Kogi Espresso Roast.

The Wild Organic Experience

The Kogi’s cultivation methods, overseen by the Mamos, involve growing coffee in harmony with nature, alongside sacred plants like Ayu (coca). This approach ensures their crops remain as organic as possible, despite their refusal to seek formal organic certification due to cultural and logistical barriers.

Preserving Cultural Heritage

The Kogi, masters of sustainable agriculture, transform barren lands into thriving ecosystems without chemicals, guided by millennia-old wisdom. They navigate challenges such as land ownership disputes with little recourse, relying on their cultural practices and spiritual beliefs.

Respecting Ancestral Roots

Our commitment to 'WILD ORGANIC' reflects the Kogi’s profound respect for nature and their sacred traditions. Grown above 1,000 meters altitude, our coffee supports indigenous families of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, preserving their ancestral heritage.
