The anaerobic natural process of this lot nicely intensifies the fruity aspect of this red catuai from Finca Cholopata. With our roast we wanted to match the intensity of the fragrance with the flavours in the cup: from both you’ll get loads of blueberries, raspberry jam and rhubarb. Your journey throughout temperatures will be incredibly sweet, going hand in hand with elegant acidity, reminding you from time to time the characteristic underlying hints of the anaerobic process without coming across as funky.

  • We recommend a slight twist of our conical dripper recipe for this coffee: brew with 91°C water temperature, and a 4 pour structure instead of the 5 pour structure.

    1) use 13 grams of medium ground coffee over 200 grams of water.

    2) bloom with 50 grams,

    3) second pour of 70 grams at 0:30

    4) third and fourth pour of 40 grams at 1:00 and 1:30 respectively.

    5) extraction should end around 2:20, enjoy!

    Living in a municipality with harder tap water? Don’t underestimate the effect of water on the flavour of your coffee! Make sure to filter it down to under 80 ppm when brewing coffee. We recommend the BWT Magnesium Mineralised Water filters for best results.

  • Cholopata is the passion project of Tomás and Carolina, a couple of graphic designers based in La Paz and the creatives behind our Muyu logo. When we opened the doors of our roastery in Locarno, they decided to leave the city to move to the countryside and produce small scale specialty coffee.

  • Sourcing directly at origin from small farmers, we are fully aware of the hard work that goes into the quality product we buy and the challenges their families face to earn their fragile livelihood. In this regard, coffee producing communities in Bolivia face additional challenges, due to the lack of infrastructure, financial support and difficult access to international freight routes. To fairly balance the relationship between roaster and producer we are price takers and as part of our long term commitment to a financially and environmentally sustainable coffee production in Bolivia, we factor these realities into the pricing.

    For this 10 Kg batch of specialty grade coffee, Cholopata received 17,62 USD/Kg.
