San Bartolome - Bolivia Filter

Julio and Lupe Palli have a five-hectare farm called San Bartolomé in the Caranavi province of Bolivia. Ten years after they started working in coffee, they joined the Sol de la Mañana program.

This initiative is aimed at improving infrastructure and farming practices at farms to create a more sustainable future for coffee in Bolivia, teaching how to improve quality and yield. After being weighed, the coffee was placed on a conveyor belt and disinfected, in a similar process used for wine grapes. It was then washed and laid out on a patio for 48-72 hours, and then placed in a drying box. The coco process refers to drying this coffee in a steel container box traditionally used for cocoa pods. They use a gentle flow of warm air from below the coffee bed to dry the parchment slowly and evenly until it reaches 11.5% humidity.
