Invalsa has a long~term relationship with it’s Bolivian farmers, paying for the cooperative’s annual organic certification, providing technical assistance, as well as community support including scholarship funds.
This coffee is shade-grown in the higher altitudes of the Carrasco La Reserva County, Caranavi Province. It was de-pulped and washed using pure Andes mountain spring water, sun-dried on wooden table tops, and hand sorted by “palliris”, Aymara women food graders.
