Aymara coffee was born in 2023 from a joint project led by Angel, then sourcing manager at Belco, and Felix, head of Lata16, our partner in Bolivia. Following a sourcing trip to the Caranavi region and facing the worrying reality of deforestation, we chose to dedicate 7 cts/lb of the purchase price of this coffee to funding a replanting program.
Thanks to this initiative, over 7,000 USD was raised, enabling the production and distribution of 4,000 trees to 18 producers in the region.
Today, Aymara is still produced by this same group of producers. Each harvest perpetuates this agroforestry project, which aims to preserve local ecosystems while guiding farms toward a more sustainable future.
