Nicknamed the "Rooftop of the World" because of its high elevation in the Andes Mountains, Bolivia has a landscape of snow-topped mountain peaks, broad, windswept plateaus and tropical rain forests. The Bolivian coffee industry has been fine-tuning itself by improving post-harvest techniques, mostly at the wet-and dry-milling stages. Caranavi farmers are working hard to constantly improve their organic farming cultivation practices and the quality of their coffees. They have built raised bed patios for drying, started their own nurseries, and provided coffee technicians to further organic agricultural training. The plants are almost all traditional Typica varietal, Much of the production is traditional Organic farming practice, certified Organic and Fair Trade also.
Grown below a magnificent mahogany forest on 41 small farms averaging 3 acres each, these efforts and the unusual micro climate combine to offer a stunning Organic coffee, very sweet, very balanced, nutty cup, both creamy and fruity, with tones of prunes, fig and black cherry. |
Very Good!
