Kaphiy means coffee in Quechua
Kaphiy Roasters
Our founder, Zara Preciado-Carrillo, was born in Lima and inherieted a passion for coffee from her mother's side.
Zara embarked on a journey of reclaiming her heritage, which led her to the ancestral land of her father in Cajamarca where she had the opportunity to meet with women coffee farmers in the rural area of Northern Peru in Jaen, San Ignacio.
All thing these together created the perfect vision and passion to start Kaphiy Roasters.
Inspired By Women
Kaphiy Roasters is a women-owned and BIPOC business located in Portland, Oregon purchasing coffee beans from these women-owned and operated farms through direct trade. This purchasing process is important as it helps pay the women more fair wage and removes middlemen in the process.
