Calama La Paz

A fully washed coffee from Bolivia

Coffee arrived in Bolivia in the late 18th century, flourishing in the fertile Yungas region. Smallholder producers from the APROCAFE cooperative are based across Caranavi, primarily in the neighbouring communities of Uchumachi and Calama. Using traditional farming methods and small-scale washing stations, they cultivate exceptional coffees. This lot comes from Calama and features the highly celebrated Pacamara varietal, renowned for its exceptionally large beans.

Flavours of: Orange, Cola & Maple.

What to expect in the cup: This coffee is wholesome, well-rounded, and packed with layers of sweetness. It opens with a rich, complex burst of deep orange flavour, reminiscent of a concentrated orange cordial. The vibrant citrus notes gradually soften and evolve into a smooth, sugary cola sweetness. As the cup cools, delicate hints of maple syrup emerge, leaving a gentle warmth that lingers pleasantly on the palate. Wonderfully comforting and exceptionally easy to drink, this is a coffee you’ll find difficult to put down.
