About this coffee
Raspberry, blackberry and redcurrant layer up in the cup like a summer berry medley, bright and juicy from the first sip, before shifting to a sweet cooked apple finish.
The remote region of Irupana sits in the South Yungas province towards the most westerly edge of Bolivia, nestled among the Andes at the edge of the country. It's to the south of Caranavi, the largest coffee-growing region in Bolivia, and shares a similar verdant – albeit slightly drier – high-altitude terrain that makes it excellent for growing coffee. Farms here are small (around 5 hectares on average) and the area has a strong, proud tradition of coffee farming. It's also a place with deep historical roots: Irupana was home to Pedro Domingo Murillo, a late 18th-century revolutionary who led the 1809 uprising against Spanish rule in La Paz, before being defeated by royalist forces at the Battle of Irupana and executed in 1810. He's remembered today as one of Bolivia's great independence martyrs.
