This coffee was carefully picked and processed on the same day at the Rodríguez family’s wet mill located at one of their nearby farms, El Fuerte. Pedro draws a lot of inspiration from the wine industry in his approach to coffee production, and is always innovating and trialling different processing techniques. This lot was processed with experimental techniques, part of the Rodriguez’ family’s long term strategy to achieve the greatest distinction and diversity in their special lots.
Java is a coffee variety with a long history of cultivation across the globe. Its name comes from the Indonesian island of Java, where it was first introduced directly from Ethiopia by the Dutch in the early 19th century. From there, it has become popular in West Africa and Central America, where it has thrived as an interesting alternative to the Gesha variety.
El Fuerte is one of four farms owned and operated by the Rodriguez family in Bolivia’s Samaipata region. Samaipata is a relatively new coffee growing region located in the eastern department of Santa Cruz, at the foot of the Bolivian Andes. Samaipata means ‘Rest of the Heights’, and is a small, picturesque town. A scenic road that runs along a beautiful river leads to the town centre, attracting Bolivians and tourists alike. It is a popular base for nature walks and the World Heritage El Fuerte Andes ruins, after which the farm was named. The valley surrounding the town ranges between 1,600-1,800 meters above sea level, and has a fairly extreme climate. During the day the temperature is 25-30°C, dropping to as low as to 8-10°C during the night. This slows down the ripening of the coffee cherries, allowing the sugars of the fruit to concentrate in the flesh and bean, which in turn helps produce an incredibly sweet and complex coffee.
