Bolivia Finca Bartolome

Coffee Story
Julio Palli has been growing coffee in the infamous specialty coffee region of Caranavi, near Copacabana, for six years on his small .5 hectares of a farm named Finca Bartolome. As part of Agricafe's Sol de la Mañana mentorship program since the early days of his farm, he has learned the best practices for nursery and farm management, plant nutrition, specialty harvesting, and biodiversity. Julio has now built a home on the farm and has the help of his daughter with picking cherries and maintaining the coffee nursery. This specific lot is a blend of Caturra and Catuai that is picked at peak ripeness, de-pulped, fermented in tanks anaerobically and washed before being dried mechanically for 85 hours.
