Bolivia coffee origin

Origin

Bolivia

  • RegionCaranavi
  • SpeciesArabica
  • Altitude1,400–1,600 m
  • ProcessingWashed

Coffee from Caranavi is grown on the eastern slopes of the Andes, where high elevations and warm days with cool nights support steady cherry development. These conditions produce coffees with good structure, moderate acidity, and a naturally sweet, chocolate-forward profile that responds well to darker roasting.

Overall rating: 4.5 / 5 from 6 reviews.

Incredible coffee. SOOOO fresh and

"Incredible coffee. SOOOO fresh and so flavorful. love that this service is in my city and I can reliably get fresh high quality beans now!"

— Angus M. (5/5)

Its ok. The Ethiopian bean

"Its ok. The Ethiopian bean has been roasted too darkly however and loses its delicate dark berry flavours as a result. I still enjoyed this from my espresso machine."

— Ihor S. (4/5)

Good Canadian roast

"It's good coffee. Not as dark as I usually like, but nice flavor. A bit pricey per lb. I'll finish these 2nlbs and get another 2 before final decision."

— Joseph O. (4/5)

This espresso is good needed

"This espresso is good needed to give it 2 more days from the roast date. So this a coffee that being you/working for you I will tell you that it will be best not to ship before the 12 days of the roast date. I want to order another batch of coffee beans before making my decision for my subscription! I personally like a stronger coffee flare in my espresso shot! I’m not a fan of latte, I drink my coffee black with nothing added to it! But I no that this espresso is great so you need to try it to know it!"

— Patricia P. (4/5)

So Smooth.

"Delicious."
