Bolivia: Arcangel, Washed

Located at 1,500 metres above sea level near the town of Copacabana, El Arcangel was established in 2015 and produced its first coffee harvest in 2017. The farm distinguishes itself from others in the area by separating its red and yellow caturra varieties, accentuating their unique characteristics by ensuring they're grown, picked, and processed individually.

The farm’s namesake is a towering, majestic tree that dominates the highest point on the farm, resembling a watchful guardian. This natural sanctuary fosters the harmonious growth of coffee trees and other local plant species, creating an oasis of tranquillity and beauty that also just so happens to grow fantastic quality coffee.

The zing of orange and lime is balanced by candy sweetness before a dark chocolate aftertaste in an elegant cup which is very well balanced.
