Alasitas is a celebration of abundance, both in its name and in the cup. Named after the vibrant Alasitas festival in La Paz, which honours the Aymara god of abundance, this coffee comes from one of Bolivia’s largest and most cherished farms, owned by the Rodriguez family. Agricafe’s Alasitas farm lies in the lush mountain valley near Caranavi, where perfect growing conditions allow the coffee cherries to mature slowly, resulting in a sweeter, more complex flavour profile.
The natural Caturra variety grown on Alasitas flourishes at 1,600 MASL, where the combination of mild daytime temperatures and cool nights encourages rich sugar development. This commitment to quality shines through in every aspect of the farm's operation, from the careful cultivation of the coffee plants to the precise harvesting and natural processing methods used. The result is a coffee that reflects the expertise and commitment of the Rodriguez family, whose innovation and sustainability have redefined Bolivian coffee production.
In the cup, Alasitas delights with notes of caramel and grape, paired with a juicy acidity that adds vibrancy to each sip. This natural process Caturra offers a uniquely Bolivian experience, a testament to the land’s rich agricultural heritage and the Rodriguez family’s passion for crafting exceptional coffee. Perfect for those seeking a balance of sweetness and complexity, Alasitas is a true expression of abundance.
