Rare and Regional Collection

These are the beans that make chefs and heirloom bean devotees weak in the knees—regional treasures with deep cultural roots and flavors so exceptional, they've been passed down through generations. Hard to find, impossible to forget.

What's Inside:

Rio Zape – Dubbed "the noblest bean" for good reason. This stunner delivers robust, complex flavor and produces a legendary, rich bean broth that's worth making extra just to sip. Grown organically on a small family farm in Pescadero, CA, where cool, foggy coastal days create the perfect microclimate for developing extraordinary depth. 1lb bag

Old Indian Woman Beans – Also known as Yellow Indian Woman, these are the silkiest, most luxurious beans you'll ever taste. The flavor is remarkable, but it's that impossibly creamy texture that keeps people coming back. Nearly impossible to find from a certified organic source—we're thrilled to offer these gems from Fifth Crow Farm. 1lb bag

Ayocote Morado – A majestic heirloom from Southern Mexico with meaty texture and a rich, delicious broth. This Puebla region specialty grows among vegetables and fruit trees, born from stunning red flowers. Traditionally paired with roasted poblanos and chile-laden moles. Grown by our partners at La Comandanta using the ancient milpa method—corn, beans, squash, and chilis cultivated together and lovingly hand-harvested by Cesar, his family, and friends. 1lb bag

Vaquita Negro – One of Mexico's most prized and exotic varieties, named "little cow" for their striking black and white markings. These rare beauties from Morelos maintain their bold appearance while producing an intensely dark, nutrient-rich broth that's legendary among Mexican cooks. Grown by Carlos and Ana, one of the very few certified organic farms still practicing traditional milpa farming—a labor of love you can taste in every bite. 1lb bag

Perfect for: Showcase dishes where beans are the star, adventurous cooking, impressing fellow food lovers, or discovering why heirloom beans have devoted followings.

Preserving rare varieties. Honoring ancient growing methods. Supporting the families keeping culinary traditions alive.
