Bolivien Caranavi Bio + Fairtrade

About This Coffee

This organic and Fairtrade certified coffee comes from Tapiplaya in the Caranavi region, located in the heart of Bolivia's coffee production in the eastern foothills of the Andes. Produced by 300 smallholder farmers who are members of ASOCAFE cooperative, founded in 1990. The coffee grows in shade under tropical jungle canopies at altitudes where glacial meltwater from 4,000-meter peaks irrigates the plants. The varieties include Typica, Caturra, and Catuai. Carefully hand-picked cherries are transported to central processing stations where they are depulped, fermented, washed, and sun-dried. The coffee features a chocolatey character with full body, low acidity, and a dry finish that lingers on the palate.
