These 2011/12 harvest green (unroasted) coffee beans come from the farms of Humberto, Isidro & Juan Carlos Mamani from Colonia San Ignacio in the Yungas region of Bolivia, and were processed by the Cooperative with the same name. For the past four years we have been buying all of San Ignacio’s coffee production at guaranteed minimum prices, based on quality, as part of a multi-year contract. We are very happy with our long term relationship with San Ignacio and we have already seen significant improvements in the quality of their coffee and the lives of the farmers. We are proud to be the main source and inspiration for both improvements. These coffee beans are 100% Specialty Arabica (Tipica 90%, Caturra 10%), certified organic and shade-grown in the higher altitudes of the Carrasco La Reserva County, Caranavi Province. Invalsa pays for the organic certification as part of our long-term relationship. These coffee beans were depulped and washed using pure Andes mountain-spring water, sun-dried on wooden table tops and hand selected by “Palliris” (Aymara Indian women food graders). Because of their flavor and aroma (see cupping notes below) we prefer a moderately dark (#45 Agtron/SCCA) roast for these coffee beans. However, other roasters prefer it darker-roasted. Some roasters use it as a single-origin, others use it as a mandatory component of their special “secret” blend. Try all combinations and you decide! Our Head Cupper gave this coffee a score of 83. Cupping notes: Bright acidity with sweet, fruity chocolate aroma. Floral caramel, honey, intense citrus, medium body, orange overtones throughout. Round balance.
Invalsa Coffee (co-based in Boston, MA and La Paz, Bolivia) sourced these specialty-grade green coffee beans ourselves, directly from the farmer, cooperative, or estate that produced them.
You won’t find this combination of consistent quality, high grade, green coffee beans and customer service anywhere else online.
Happy roasting!
