Our Heritage

How coffee came to Nepal

Tap each step to turn it over

1938A hermit's pocket of seedsTap →

A wandering hermit named Hira Giri carried coffee seeds from Myanmar into Nepal and planted them in Gulmi — coffee took root in the Himalaya.

1940s–70sGrown for the houseTap →

For decades it grew quietly in farmhouse gardens, passed neighbor to neighbor along the hill trails. Not grown for the world — grown for the house.

1980sThe hills learn the plantTap →

The mid-hills learned what coffee loved: altitude, shade, patience. Smallholders planted across Nepal's hills — including the terraces of Lalitpur, where ours grows today.

Today8000 MaisonTap →

One of the rarest origins on Earth, carried from the Lalitpur hills to Dallas — one 200 kg micro-lot at a time. Small, patient, personal.

The Namesakes

Eight peaks above 8,000 meters

The House Motto

Everything worth having grows slowly at height
coffee, and the people who chase their peaks.
This cup is for the climb.

The Descent

From 8,000 meters to your cup

8,000 m
The eight-thousanders. Eight of the world's fourteen highest peaks crown Nepal — the skyline our coffee grows beneath, and the name we carry.
1,350 m
The farms. Terraced smallholder plots in the Lalitpur hills. Cool air, slow ripening, hand-picked at peak — altitude is our first ingredient.
1,000 m
The washing station. Fully washed, fermented clean, and sun-dried on raised beds. Then sealed in GrainPro-lined jute for the long journey.
160 m
Dallas, Texas. Warehoused in DFW and roasted in small batches — light for the florals, medium for the depth.
0 m
Your cup. Apricot and honey, or caramel and dark cherry. The roof of the world, poured.

The Growing

Farmed the way the mountain intended

No shortcuts grow at 1,350 meters. Our coffee is raised by smallholder families in the Lalitpur hills, shaded under native forest, fed by living soil, and picked by hand — cherry by cherry.

The way it has been since coffee arrived in a hermit's pocket.

I

Under the canopy

Our trees grow shaded beneath native forest — utis, chilaune, and fruit trees that filter the mountain sun. Shade slows the cherry's ripening, deepening sweetness, while the canopy shelters birdlife and holds the hillside together.

II

Living soil

Himalayan hill soil, fed by forest litter and farmyard compost rather than synthetic fertilizer. The roots share ground with the mountain's own ecology — earthworms, mycorrhizae, monsoon-washed minerals from the slopes above.

III

Grown without synthetics

Smallholder plots tended by hand mean no synthetic pesticides or herbicides — pest pressure is managed the old way: shade, spacing, biodiversity, and attention. Farming as stewardship, not extraction.

IV

Built for a changing climate

Altitude is natural resilience — cooler air holds off leaf rust and pests that plague lowland farms. Shade trees buffer heat spikes and hold monsoon water in the soil. The mountain has always demanded adaptation; our farms were built on it.

V

Picked by hand, cherry by cherry

No machine can climb a Lalitpur terrace. Every cherry is picked by hand at peak ripeness — often over several passes through the same trees, weeks apart — so only the deepest red fruit makes the lot.

VI

The families behind it

This is family farming — plots passed down generations, worked by the households that live on them. Buying this coffee pays hill farmers directly for patient, careful work that no plantation can imitate.
