We’re pumped to bring you our first Bolivian coffee. This smells of beautiful cherries and floral notes. Brew however you desire, but espresso is pretty amazing.
Copacabana is a small town and community in Caranavi made up of indigenous people from the Aymara culture. The name Caranavi is from quechua, meaning “peaceful place with a good view.” Copacabana surprises with its accessibility and its conservation potential. This community is located near the base of the Illimani (“where the sun rises” in Aymara) mountain. With a height of 6,462 masl, this mountain is made up of 4 peaks and is the second highest mountain in the Bolivian Andes. Snow from the Illimani mountain forms all the rivers and lagoons that provide water to the nearby towns. Because of its altitude, his region has extreme climates that change in a matter of hours, from below zero to tropical with temperatures between 19 and 30 degrees Celsius. Likewise, the vegetation also changes rapidly, from large plantations of potatoes and quinoa to many hectares of coffee, plantain, yucca and others. These and other peculiarities of the Andean terrain create the complexity and differentiation of the Bolivian coffee. We are really excited to bring you our first Bolivian specialty coffee, and it will not disappoint.
