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.

The Rodríguez family’s 47-hectare farm (29 of which are planted with coffee) is located at a staggering 1,710 MASL. It features two breathtaking viewpoints: one over the spectacular Andes mountain ranges, and another over the Amboró National Park, which is considered to have some of 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 the western mountain range changes course to the south.

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.
