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 to continue his work.
Vladimir believes in the power of coffee to transform communities so long as it is rooted in the values that keep it human. As such, he helped to found a non-profit dedicated to addressing the needs of rural farming communities in Bolivia. Since 2021, Vladi has been living in the United States, continuing his work with the non-profit and importing beans to the United States.

Nanai is the next step of the journey: quality beans, imported directly and ethically from farmers, to serve up for you with a smile and some South American flare.
This isn't your average coffee cart. 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.
