Bolivian Apolo

About This Coffee

This coffee originates from the Apolo region of Northern Bolivia, where indigenous communities work in partnership with the Wildlife Conservation Society and Cafe Kreyol to promote ecological preservation. The coffee is known for a distinct tangerine acidity when roasted light, complemented by chocolatey flavor notes and a sweet aroma. It is sourced from five indigenous communities, including the Trinidad community, which has transitioned from coca production to coffee cultivation.

Café Kreyol

Café Kreyol was founded in January 2012 when its founder travelled from Northern Virginia to Haiti to scout coffee growing regions, starting with 200 producers and growing the supply chain to 2,800 people by 2024. The roastery operates a Loring S70 Peregrine from a 10,000 square foot facility in Manassas, Virginia that includes a production roastery, green coffee warehouse, cupping lab, and classrooms. All coffees are USDA Organic certified, sourced through direct trade partnerships with Haitian producers including COOPACVOD, Haiti's oldest running cooperative with over 850 members. The company pays farmers up to 300% above Fair Trade minimums and invests over $1 million annually in Haiti. Café Kreyol won Roast Magazine's 2023 Roaster of the Year award in the macro category, and the business has more than doubled in size since.
