More about this coffee
This particular lot comes from 19 producers who cultivate coffee in the community of Collasuyo. During the harvest, cherries are carefully harvested, sorted, and floated to remove damaged and less dense beans before depulping, fermenting, washing, and drying the coffee using micro-mills located on each farm.
More about Aljiri Cooperative
The producers in Collasuyo are members of a cooperative called Aljiri, which is located in the municipality of Caranavi, in the department of La Paz. The cooperative is structured to support small farms through investment in critical infrastructure and logistics, encompassing road enhancements, the establishment of local warehouses, and overseeing the preparation of coffee for export. This coordinated effort ensures traceability and maintains quality control. Aljiri also provides comprehensive technical support to farmers. This encompasses guidance spanning from seed selection to coffee processing and extends to valuable assistance in navigating the certification process.
This exceptional Bolivia coffee is crafted from hand-picked, 100% Arabica Red Catuai & Typica cherries. The dedicated farmers carefully sort, pulp, and wet ferment the beans before sun-drying them in parchment. Once ready, the coffee is sent to the cooperative for dry milling and final export, ensuring top-tier quality.
We are thrilled to feature our first Bolivian coffee on our website. The point we tasted it on our cupping table, we knew it was special. This coffee comes from La Cooperativa Corpus Cristhy Illampu R.L., a micro-cooperative in the Caranavi region of La Paz, selected in 2001. With only 40 contributing farms spread across approximately 120 hectares, this cooperative is deeply committed to sustainable and ethical coffee farming. Their core principles include:
- Improve and expand coffee production plots with ecological and organic cultivation.
- Implement benefit money according to the needs of the Cooperative.
- Promote the finished product to the national market
Bolivian coffee delivers a unique and vibrant flavor profile, recalling the loyalty of the farmers who produce it. Experience the richness of Bolivia’s coffee heritage with every cup.
