Awakening the Nazca Plate

We select special South American coffee beans to pay tribute to the massive movement of the Nazca plate and how that impacted the geography of the Americas.

The Nazca Plate, which is a relatively young 23 million years old, is named after the region of southern Peru where the tectonic plate extends into the ocean. The plate movement resulted in the formation of the impressive Andes mountain range.  The oldest rocks located in the plate are around 50 million years old.
