This wonderful Bolivian coffee "Colonial Caranavi" is grown by small native farmers known as colonials on land that is steep at elevations rising to 5800 feet. These typica and bourbon coffee beans cultivated in the tropics of Bolivia below a magnificent mahogany forest, come from 41 small farms averaging 3 acres each. The farmers work hard to constantly improve their organic farming cultivation practices and the quality of their coffees. They have built raised bed patios for drying, started their own nurseries, and provided coffee technicians to further organic agricultural training. These efforts and the unusual micro climate combine to offer a heavy bodied, spicy coffee that tingles the senses of the tongue as well as the imagination.

The Fair Trade Certified label guarantees that farmers and workers received a fair price for their product. The Fair Trade price means that farmers can feed their families and that their children can go to school instead of working in the fields.
