Finca Chuquiago, owned and operated by Felipe Guarachi Tola is located in the famous La Paz region of Bolivia. Benefiting from the region’s naturally fertile soils and favourable climate, Finca Guarachi it ideally located for producing top notch specialty coffee. The farm’s name is derived from “Chuquiago Marka”, the indigenous Aymara name for the region now known as La Paz.

Coffee production in Bolivia has been heavily influenced by practices in neighbouring Colombia, with most producers focusing on washed processing and opting to invest in their own processing infrastructure. Felipe is not exception. This lot has been depulped, fermented and dried “in-house” over a two week period.
