Why It's Exceptional
This coffee is Fairtrade certified and was grown on Efrain's organic farm in Marcala, La Paz. It was scored 86 points by our cuppers, making it of uncommon quality among specialty coffee.
Efrain works to respect the land he grows on and has portioned his plot into thirds: one third is for coffee, one third is for his farm animals, and one third is for actively managed forests. He has been an active proponent of organic and specialty coffee production, helping other members in his community with training and techniques as well as providing a weighing and drop off station for other associates of Café Orgánico Marcala.
