The heart of Tekwani
At Tekwani, we bridge the worlds of coffee and design—working with farmers, importers, roasters and cafe owners to craft brands that tell their story, build trust, and connect with the right people. Rooted in culture, driven by creativity, and fueled by a love for coffee, we create identities that honor the craft and help shape a better future of the industry.
The meaning of the Tekwani
Tekwani is an indigenous Náhuat word for jaguar. In Mayan culture, the Jaguar travels between worlds, day and night, as a holder and revealer of dreams. Tekwani Design Co. is your guide between the worlds of your story, a brand that reflects that story, and what people need and want.
