Roasted medium dark, this single origin specialty coffee pours rich dark chocolate and smooth caramel, with a nutty depth and a little touch of lime at the end that keeps every sip fresh.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat lime comes from the mountains. Grown at 1,400 to 1,600 metres in the Yungas valleys of La Paz, the cherries ripen slowly in the cool air, building dense beans full of natural sugars and bright acidity. Typica brings sweetness and body, while Caturra and Catuai add a lively edge. The fully washed process removes the fruit before drying, so the cup stays clean and clear. Nick's medium dark roast then turns those sugars into caramel and chocolate and softens the acidity to just a hint of citrus. The result is a round, medium-to-full body with a smooth, velvety finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDrinking it black?\u003c\/strong\u003e Expect dark chocolate first, then caramel and toasted nuts, with that gentle lime lifting the finish. Lovely as an espresso, in a cafetière or moka pot, and just as good through a V60 or AeroPress if you like a richer filter coffee.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDrinking it with milk? \u003c\/strong\u003eThis is where it shines. Milk turns the chocolate into something close to a hot chocolate with a coffee kick, and the caramel comes through even sweeter. Perfect for flat whites, cappuccinos and lattes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhatever your brewing method, this Bolivian coffee is freshly roasted to order by Nick in our roastery, just outside Canterbury, in small batches, so it never sits on a shelf. We're happy to grind it for you, just choose your grind when you order, and buy a kilo for our best price.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 1.4em;\"\u003eThe Little Details\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThis fully washed Bolivia Caranavi is a regional lot from smallholder producers around the town of Caranavi, in the Yungas of La Paz, where most farms are under five hectares. It is grown at 1,400–1,600 metres above sea level from Caturra, Catuai and Typica varieties, hand-picked between April and August, and brought together through a local producers' association in Caranavi.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-userformat='{\"2\":769,\"3\":{\"1\":0},\"11\":4,\"12\":0}' data-sheets-value='{\"1\":2,\"2\":\"This is a lovely light roast coffee from Colombia that we would recommend for use in a cafetière or filter, maybe one for late morning \/ early afternoon. Light body with fruity notes. \"}'\u003eAbout the Process \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHarvest in Caranavi runs from April to August, and every cherry is picked by hand once it reaches peak ripeness. Each producer carries the harvest to their own small wet mill on the farm, where the cherries are tipped into tanks of water. Ripe cherries sink, while floaters and underripe fruit rise to the top and are removed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cherries are then depulped by machine and left to ferment in open tanks for up to 24 hours, which loosens the sticky layer of fruit, called mucilage, still clinging to the bean. Then comes the hard work: the coffee is pushed through channels of running water with wooden paddles, and the water is changed again and again until every bean is completely clean. That care is why a washed coffee tastes so clean and clear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany producers sell their coffee while it is still half-dried, at around 50% moisture, a stage known locally as \"mote\". Every Wednesday and Saturday, farmers from across Caranavi bring their coffee to town, often because their harvest is small, they can't dry it themselves, or they need early income for the season. The association collects it the same day, as there is only a 12 to 24 hour window, and the drying is finished on raised beds inside greenhouses over 5 to 10 days, depending on the weather. The lots are then blended, milled and graded for export.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo every bag brings together the work of many families, from their hillsides to market day, and now to your morning cup.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MRCoffeeUK","offers":[{"title":"200g \/ Whole Beans","offer_id":67766035284100,"sku":null,"price":6.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"200g \/ Espresso Grind","offer_id":67766035316868,"sku":null,"price":6.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"200g \/ Filter Grind","offer_id":67766035349636,"sku":null,"price":6.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"200g \/ Cafetiere Grind","offer_id":67766035382404,"sku":null,"price":6.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"500g \/ Whole Beans","offer_id":67766035415172,"sku":null,"price":17.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"500g \/ Espresso Grind","offer_id":67766035447940,"sku":null,"price":17.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"500g \/ Filter Grind","offer_id":67766035480708,"sku":null,"price":17.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"500g \/ Cafetiere Grind","offer_id":67766035513476,"sku":null,"price":17.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1kg \/ Whole Beans","offer_id":67766035546244,"sku":null,"price":32.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1kg \/ Espresso Grind","offer_id":67766035579012,"sku":null,"price":32.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1kg \/ Filter Grind","offer_id":67766035611780,"sku":null,"price":32.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1kg \/ Cafetiere Grind","offer_id":67766035644548,"sku":null,"price":32.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0388\/8447\/5012\/files\/bolivia_cara.png?v=1792579160","url":"https:\/\/www.microroastery.co.uk\/products\/bolivia-caranavi","provider":"MRCoffeeUK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
