Bolivia Floripondio Batian
This 100% Batian nano-lot comes from Floripondio, one of four farms owned and operated by the Rodríguez family in Bolivia’s Samaipata region. The tree has high levels of resistance to rust and disease and produces exceptional cup quality, much like its relatives, the very flavorful SL-28 and SL-34 varieties grown in Kenya.
ABOUT THE FARM
The 47-hectare farm (29 of which are planted with coffee) is found at a staggering 1710 MASL. It has two breathtaking viewpoints: one over the spectacular Andes mountain ranges, and another over the Amboró National Park, arguably home to the world’s greatest biodiversity of flora and fauna. This protected park is located west of the department of Santa Cruz in the so-called “Codo de Los Andes” where, quite poetically so, the western mountain range changes course to the south.
During the day, the average temperature in this region sits at around 25-30°C, while at night it drops to 8-10°C. This makes the ripening process of the cherries slow right down. Here, the sugars of the fruit are concentrated in the cherry and bean - in turn, helping to produce an incredibly sweet and complex coffee. Delicious!
Floripondio gets its name from the Floripondio flowers (commonly known as Angel’s Trumpet in English) that are native to the area and grow throughout the farm. The flower is thought to possess hallucinogenic properties, and legend has it that as soon as you lie down beneath a Floripondio tree, you start dreaming. This is fitting, as the natural scenery at Floripondio is breathtakingly beautiful and can, at times, seem like something out of a dream.

PRICING EXPLAINED
*This is the FOB (Free On Board) price: the price paid to the exporter before shipping, and which does not include shipping costs, weight loss (around 17%), storage and other charges. Ultimately, the FOB price represents the $ figure that stays in the coffee's country of origin, benefiting its producer, community, and beyond.
^This is the 'raw' price paid directly to the producer, and paid in the local currency for parchment coffee. The coffee is then milled and sorted before being placed in bags, ready for shipping.
