This 100% Caturra lot comes from Finca La Llama and is owned by the Pedro Rodríguezand and his family, who also operate the exporting business Agricafe Bolivia. Over the last decade, Rodríguez has worked tirelessly to build production and expand the market for Bolivian specialty coffee, helping hundreds of local farmers recognise and realise the potential of their land and crops.
The farm is located in the colonia of Villa Rosario, which lies in a lush, steep mountain valley just outside of the town of Caranavi. The farm is La Llama is the highest of all of the Los Rodríguez farms in Caranavi, sitting at over 1,700m above sea level. At this high elevation, temperatures are mild during the day and stable at night. This helps ensure a slow maturation of the cherry, which leads to an increased concentration of sugars in the cherry and bean, in turn producing a sweeter cup of coffee. Early in the morning or late afternoon, it is common to find an atmospheric fog covering the coffee plants, caused by the region’s unique microclimate.
La Llama is just under 10 hectares in size, five of which are under coffee. While it had been producing coffee for over 15 years when the family first acquired it, it has only been in harvest under their practices since 2017. Today, the farm’s production is still small, yet the everything produced here is of exceptional quality.
