Discover the hidden gem of South American coffee with our Bolivia San Lorenzo Yulissa Chambi Organic Washed Red Catuai. This exceptional coffee represents the exciting future of Bolivia's coffee industry, combining traditional methods with innovative techniques in a country rapidly gaining recognition for its high-quality beans.
Grown at 1525 meters above sea level in the lush Caranavi province of Bolivia's La Paz Department, this coffee thrives in the unique microclimate of the Yungas region. The Yungas, situated on the eastern slopes of the Andes, provides ideal conditions for coffee cultivation with its high altitude, abundant rainfall, and rich, volcanic soil.
Yulissa Chambi, at just 23 years old, is part of a new generation of Bolivian coffee producers driving the country's specialty coffee revolution. Her family has been growing coffee in the Yungas for over 60 years, and now Yulissa is combining this wealth of experience with modern techniques to create truly exceptional coffees.
This washed Red Catuai undergoes a unique process, including a brief 72-hour anaerobic maceration before traditional washing. This innovative approach results in a clean, complex cup with notes of orange, black tea, raspberry, ginger, and plum. The vibrant acidity is balanced by a velvety body, creating a harmonious and memorable coffee experience.
The washed processing method, combined with the brief anaerobic maceration, enhances the coffee's clarity and brightness. This technique allows the inherent flavors of the Red Catuai variety to shine through, resulting in a cup that's crisp, nuanced, and refreshing. The careful processing also contributes to the coffee's smooth mouthfeel and lingering finish.
Indulge in this Bolivia San Lorenzo Yulissa Chambi Organic Washed Red Catuai and experience the bright future of Bolivian coffee. Each sip offers a journey through Bolivia's rich landscapes, from the snow-capped Andes to the lush Yungas valleys, all captured in the complex flavors of this exceptional coffee.
