Washed Catuai, Caturra, and Typica blend from Pablo Yana in San Ignacio, Caranavi.
Don Pablo is one of the leading elders of the San Ignacio community and historical village coffee cooperative, as well as an early participant and organizer for entering the Cup of Excellence in 2008. This was one of the very first coffees Bonaventure Coffee cupped and connected with in 2014, and have been working with Pablo's coffee ever since. Pablo's wife Nieves is wonderfully hospitable, and their sons are very active in the coffee preparation. His oldest son Rudi is now preparing his own lots! Pablo is now separating his varieties, and we see darker sweetness in the Caturra, while the Catuai shows a bit more malic and citric acidity. Two sides to the classic Bolivian profile.
Traditional washing in concrete tiled fermentation tanks after de-pulping and 12 hours of dry fermentation in the tank. The wet parchment is sun-dried on raised beds for 10-20 days.
