We had coffee three years ago from Anastacio but it was called Ilimanni Bolinda mixed with Bolinda from a neighbouring canton. Two years ago Felix from Bolinda didn't send any of his coffee to the mill, and in fact has since abandoned the farm. This gave us the opportunity to try Ilimani from Anastacio all on its own for the first time, and it was delicious! We're really happy to welcome it back for a second year. Anastacio Cadena is 49 and bought his farm in 1993, but he had worked on his neighbour's farms since he was 16 years old. His farm is located in the Illimani colony, near the town of Caranavi. Anastacio has 2 hectares of coffee with approximately 6,000 coffee plants of Criolla and Caturra varietals, which are at an altitude between 1,350 and 1,800 metres above sea level. The farm is completely inaccessible from the road so Anastacio has to move the crop by hand for a quarter of a mile, at which point he can use trucks to move the coffee. All of this effort is truly worth it when you taste the coffee. Unfortunately this is the last time were going to see this coffee. Anastacio has decided that he is not going to grow coffee and after the harvest cleared the land and is going to use it for grazing cattle. The last time to try one of my favourite cups In the cup think pineapple cubes and pear drops. It's sweet with a clean, bright green-apple aciditythat finishes with milk chocolate. What makes this cup really great and interesting is its complexity. Country: Bolivia Region: North Yungas City: Caranavi Farm: Finca Illimani Farmer: Anastacio Cadena Altitude: 1,350–1,800 m.a.s.l.
