Caranavi AAA • Espresso • Nutty, Peach, Caramel

from CHF 18.00

This coffee holds a special place in our hearts, as it was the very blend that sparked our journey in 2018 with our sister roastery, Elevate Coffee Bolivia. Sourced from various farmers of the San José community in the Caranavi region, this washed mix of Typica, Caturra, Catuaí, and Icatú varieties presents flavours of peach, hints of sweet clementines and a nice smooth bodied hazelnut and cacao reminiscent of nutella, blending into a lingering aftertaste.

Ideal for: espresso, flat white, french press.

  • With a standard 9 bar espresso machines, don’t go crazy. This is an easily dialed in bean: 18-20 grams in, 36-40 grams out in 24-28 seconds. Set your brewing temperature at around 91-92 °C (slightly higher if your machine has a more drastic fall in temperature while pulling shots).

    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.

  • 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 320Kg batch of specialty grade coffee, Invalsa received 12,97 USD/Kg.
