Bolivia - Juan Jose Machicado - Microlot

We are always pleased when we can acquire coffees from Bolivia, a hidden gem in South America with elevations that lend themselves to beautiful fruity natural processed coffees. Juan Jose (Juanjo) and his wife Lidia are second generation coffee producers from the Kantutani region of Caranvi process who have made coffee farming a whole family affair. Together with their children they often work 14 to 16 hour days during the height of harvest season at Finca Phauchinta, managing all of the steps necessary to produce quality coffee. Selectively harvesting only the ripest cherries they control the pulping and washing and drying process with a keen eye for details. They dry the parchment to 12% on raised beds under solar tents before shipment to a climate controlled storage warehouse in La Paz.
