Our story

A family recipe, brewed with love

Authentic Chicha was born from a simple wish: to share the drink that defined our childhoods in Peru with the families around us today.

Our roots

Bringing Peru to your fridge

Authentic Chicha grew out of a Peruvian kitchen where chicha morada was poured at every birthday, every Sunday lunch, and every market stall. We brew it the way our families always have: with imported Peruvian purple corn, fresh fruit, real spices, and patience.

What started as a small batch experiment is now a community staple — hand-delivered to neighbors and served weekly at five Virginia farmers markets to people who've fallen for the same drink we grew up with.

Our promise

Real ingredients, traditional brewing

  • Authentic Peruvian purple corn — we source the real thing, not a flavoring or extract.
  • Real fruit and whole spices — fresh pineapple, green apple, lime, cinnamon sticks, whole cloves.
  • No artificial colors or preservatives — the color comes from the corn. That's it.
  • Small batch, made fresh — every order is brewed the same week it leaves our kitchen.
