Bolivia

 green beans (un roasted)

This coffee is from Cooperative AECAR (an acronym for Asociacion Ecologica de Caficultores Rosario entre Rios). The Co-op is made up of 164 small farmers whose land averages 3 acres and is cultivated at an altitude of 4,900 - 6,000 feet above sea level. Overall, these are delicate, bright coffees, and aromatically sweet. They have subtle fruit flavors, like pear, apple, apricot, tangerine, lemon. They can develop roast flavors that are malty, mild chocolate, nutty, caramelly and honeyed. As the cup cools the best flavor emerges, and grows in intensity revealing an excellent body with a note of sweet cinnamon.
