Zari - Single Origin Espresso
Microlot sourced through Sunrise Trading
Meet the people behind the coffee: Milagros Ortiz, Daniel Lale, Juan Jose Espiritú, Marcial Ortiz, and Raul Miguel.
Zari, meaning golden thread, is named for the fine line that quietly holds everything together. This honey-processed espresso comes from a small group of producers in Pasco’s central highlands, near the Oxapampa–Asháninka–Yánesha Biosphere Reserve. Steep terrain and shifting microclimates slow cherry development here, allowing for careful, detailed processing that makes microlots like this possible.
In the cup, Zari opens with a vinous acidity that lifts the shot as it cools. A silky body carries notes of fig and malt, finishing clean, long, and steady. Balanced and expressive, this espresso reflects the golden thread that connects the people behind the coffee to your cup.

"The bahari blend is fantastic and I think it hits for different people too. I enjoyed it because it is complex and I think being medium roast makes it approachable for folks. I made it for my in-laws over a weekend and they really liked it too. It's rare to find something we can all agree on, coffee wise."
“Velvet Hour is so yum — I love using it for my home espresso drinks. It has that nostalgic vibe that reminds me of the coffee from home, which makes every cup feel extra special.”
"My favorite part about using the Hive roaster was definitely the smell — I didn’t realize roasting coffee could smell so amazing. It was such a fun experience to be around it. I also loved how small the batches are, so if you mess up a little, it doesn’t feel like a huge loss. It made the whole process feel approachable and enjoyable."
