Bolivia Mezcla de Mujeres Natural - QRC Edition

Mezcla de Mujeres - Women's Blend
This particular women's blend natural lot comes from three women producers in the Copacabana colony of Caranavi: Carmela Aduviri, Juana Gonzales, and Nancy Palli.Caranavi, the most productive municipality in Los Yungas, is home to 80% of Bolivia's specialty coffee, which has thrived for decades. Copacabana, one of the colonies in Caranavi, is home to 35 families, with coffee serving as the primary source of income for most of its residents.Every day during harvest season, the families harvest the cherries and come together in the evening to sort and select the best ones before transporting them to Agricafé's Buena Vista wet mill in Caranavi, just a few kilometers away.

Sol de La Mañana
The Sol de la Mañana initiative was founded in 2014 when 10 local producers reached out to Pedro Pablo for help in accessing the specialty coffee market. Pedro Rodriguez realized that his responsibility went beyond managing his own farm; he also needed to support the producers who had been supplying them with coffee for years. After thoughtful discussions, the Rodriguez family concluded that the key to supporting these producers and reversing the country’s declining coffee production was finding a way to boost average yields. In order to earn a livable income from coffee, Bolivian farmers needed to produce around 30 bags of coffee per hectare. In response, the Rodriguez family created a curriculum to directly address this challenge, offering producers the training and skills necessary to increase yields and enhance the quality of their coffee.
