Who We Are // Quiénes Somos

Nanai's founder Vladimir or "Vladi," originally from Peru, discovered his vocation in coffee in 2018 after he had the opportunity to live and work alongside coffee farmers in Bolivia. He returned to Peru to complete an intensive coffee professionals certification program - studying everything from farm to cup - and then moved back to Bolivia where he was part of founding a cooperative by and for specialty coffee producers in the region. Vladimir, alongside cooperative members, has always firmly believed in the power of coffee to transform communities so long as it is rooted in the values that keep it human. Since 2021, Vladi has been living in the United States, importing specialty beans from Bolivia and continuing in relationship and leadership with the cooperative.

Vladi has good stories to tell and excellent drinks to make. Share your vision for an event, and Nanai will make it happen without losing the art of keeping humanity in business.
