- Info.
When we think of Finca Alasitas, many things pop into our mind, first of all abundance and diversity.
Alasitas lies in a lush, steep mountain valley around 10 kilometres outside of the town of Caranavi of La Paz department. The farm is located at the door of the Amazon Jungle and the views that the farm offers is layers of mountains that vanish into infinity merging with the blue colours of the sky.
Fincas Los Rodriguez, a total of 12 different farms, are located in two regions of Bolivia: Caranavi and Samaipata. The regions are both very impressive in their own way, yet totally different from one another in terms of vegetation, culture, people and of course, coffee. Alasitas is one of the Rodriguez family’s twelve coffee farms. The company started the project in 2012 as a response to the sharply declining rates of coffee production in the area and to demonstrate to local farmers what can be achieved with modern farming techniques and a scientific approach.
Java is a rare varietal with a normally very delicate, floral profile - the Rodriguez's post-harvest processing compliments this by adding complexity and fruity notes. In the cup, you will find juicy pear and coated vanilla and toffee flavours.
