The Cup
This natural processed micro-lot from Bolivia is definitely for the coffee lovers who enjoy rich fruit forward flavours. This seasonal espresso is ripe with an intensity similar to a port wine with a light touch of berries and a finishing note of ginger snap depending on the brew method. Though categorized as a seasonal espresso this coffee performs superbly using brew methods like the aeropress, pour over and drip.
The Producer
This is a washed microlot from the producer AIPEP, the Asociacion Integral de Productores Ecologicos de Pumiri. AIPEP is a primary-level producer association, located in the small village of Pumiri tucked away in the Yungas mountains in the province of Caranavi in Bolivia.
The association was formally founded in 2002. From its beginnings, members worked hard to develop the internal systems for excellent organic production and quality control. These producers have been selected for their commitment to good processing techniques, some of which may have submitted samples to regional and national quality competitions. Their farms are typically between 1200 to 1550 meters above sea level. Their farms are also considered local examples in good agroecological practices, with active reforestation and fertilization and limited chaqueo, a practice of slash-and burn clearing that is all too common in Bolivia.
