Impact, one cup at a time.
Ever felt too small to make a difference? Don’t! Uplift your day by enjoying flavor packed coffees from caring relationships with Bolivian smallholder producers, through which families and nature can thrive.
Sourced responsibly from small fincas.
Together with our sister roastery Elevate Coffee Bolivia, we nurture specialty coffee culture at origin and bundle all green bean sourcing through our program Proyecto Elevate. Deeply rooted into the local value chain, we source unique nano lots - most of which are not found anywhere else - seeking to entertain eye to eye, long lasting relationships with smallholder farmers as we believe that our success as roasters is closely linked to that of our partners.
Roasted in Ticino on 100% solar power.
Following the sustainable by design approach, our complete shop operations run on solar power only, including our electric roaster, espresso machine and grinders, which together would otherwise account for almost 50% of CO2 emissions along the whole coffee supply chain. How does it work? We purchase our energy through the certified program TiSole, which feeds locally generated solar power into the power grid up to the equivalent of our yearly consumption.

This stunning washed Geisha from Finca Isabel originates from their La Cuesta microlot, perched right under the forest canopy surrounding their farm in Loayza, Bolivia. Working alongside our partner producers, we always seek to push innovation. In this case, while the lot has undergone a classic washed post harvest processing method, it was then brought to El Alto at 4000 masl, and slowly dried in a controlled dark room. Testing just started but we think it gave the coffee a specially high clarity flavor profile and highlights the botanical aspect of the Geisha variety in the cup: intense florals of jasmine and lavender, lemongrass and an underlying depth of blueberries.
This coffee is a light roast, while you will be tempted to open it earlier, we recommend you’d wait 3-4 weeks after roasting date to start brewing it as the long resting time really develops its full potential.
