Aymara

We have been offering coffees from the north of Yungas region for the past 3 years. During our last sourcing trip, we witnessed a sad reality. "External consultants" were advising the Yungas community to cut shading trees as, according to them, full sun coffee had better yield. Some consultants were even advising on abandoning the organic certification all together to allow chemical treatments.

To defend a less destructive model of agriculture, we have written a specifications book for all our Bolivian coffees. These precise specifications have the aim to incentivize more sustainable practices and reforestation within the organic certification.
