About the farmer(s)

Roxana Chambi - Red Catuai [washed] — Bolivia

Roxana first planted coffee at her 5-hectare farm San Lorenzo in 2019. The farm is located in Caravani, La Paz, in the Andes Range. This lot was processed using the washed method. Once harvested, coffee cherries are washed, sorted, de-pulped, fermented, washed & then spread out to dry on raised beds for 15-20 days. This method produces clean fruit flavours with good acidity.
