BOLIVIADON CARLOS

About this coffee

Don Carlos is one of the company’s oldest employees and has also been influential in the Rodriguez’ family’s decision to buy farms and start growing their own coffee. Don Carlos is a Caranavi native and knows the region like the back of his hand. At a crucial point, he offered the Rodriguez’ advice and encouragement and ultimately convinced them that buying the land to produce their own coffee was a good idea. The farm is named in honor of Don Carlos and the pivotal role he’s played in Agricafe’s history. Finca don Carlos is a farm located on a steep mountain in the Amazon jungle. The farm has a very nutrient-rich and soft soil that seems cushioned, and there are three levels that can be identified, each with a peculiar micro climate, which makes each lot on the farm so very special. On the first level, at 1450 masl the variety red Catuai grows and thrives, bringing new surprises in the cup every year. Growing on the second level at 1550masl, red and yellow Caturra amaze, as the plants get stronger and more loaded each harvest. Last but not least, on the top of the mountain at 1680 masl, the Geisha plantation grows in all splendor, making it hard for pickers sometimes as the plants grow wider and higher than Los Rodriguez would have ever imagined.
