Washed processing yields well-balanced flavor of chocolate, orange and caramel.Approachable rather than extravagant, it is the ideal “front door” to Bolivian coffee.
Caranavi is the heart of Bolivian coffee production, spread across mountain country reached by the highland road running northeast from La Paz (near the end of the one-time “world’s most dangerous road”). With smallholder cooperatives leading the quality push, the region has become the backbone of Bolivia’s production and exports.
Chocolate, orange and caramel in good balance, at a sensible balance of price and quality — a profile well suited to specialty newcomers. Worth getting to know before stepping up to the floral finesse of the higher Yungas.
