The People Behind the Beans

Meet the
Founders

Lhotse Brew was born from a person who refused to accept that great coffee couldn't exist at altitude.

Buddharaj KC

Founder & Head Roaster

Buddharaj KC founded Lhotse Brew with a singular mission: to bring the spirit of the Himalayas to every cup. Inspired by the resilience and height of Lhotse, the world's fourth-highest peak, Buddharaj curates every roast to offer a "summit-level" experience. For him, coffee isn't just a morning routine—it's the fuel for the next great adventure, crafted for those who aren't afraid to climb higher.

Our Origin

The Roof of
the World

Our beans are born in the high-altitude regions surrounding the Himalayas, where the air is thin and the soil is rich with mineral-dense glacial runoff. At these extreme elevations, coffee cherries grow slower, developing a deep, complex sweetness that simply cannot be replicated in the lowlands. Lhotse Brew honors this rugged landscape by sourcing only from small-holder farmers who master the steep slopes and unpredictable climate to bring you a truly elevated cup.
