Bolivia Caranavi

The Story

Bolivia produces less than 0.1% of the world's coffee, making any Bolivian lot a genuine rarity. Ours comes from the Caranavi province in the Yungas valley—a steep, lush corridor where the Andes drop into the Amazon basin. Small family plots carved into near-vertical hillsides grow Caturra and Catuai at elevations up to 1,800 meters, picking cherry by hand because the terrain makes machinery impossible. Washed in improvised micro-mills and dried on the farmers' own patios, this coffee has a delicate sweetness—milk chocolate and mandarin orange—wrapped in a silky, almost satiny body that belies its humble processing origins.
