This is our 3rd & final coffee from Bolivia, from the Los Rodriguez family. Kusillo is one of 10 farms owned by the Los Rodriguez family, which started when Pedro built a wet mill to work with smallholder farmers to process their cherries. Now, Kusillo sits beside their first farm, La Linda which is also near the wet mill Buena Vista.

2 varieties are grown at Kusillo, Java & Red Caturra. Typically at the altitude of 1500MASL, the Java ripens a little earlier followed by the Red Caturra. The cherries are picked by trained pickers from the Bolinda community & hand-sorted before being brought to the drying tables. The natural process usually begins with pre-drying on the raised beds before the cherries are finished off in the mechanical driers to the optimum moisture content.

We selected this coffee for its mouthfeel & sweetness, with its jammy blackberry character as well as cooked apples. This is a prime example of how the Los Rodriguez family has utilised their facilities to explore different flavour profiles for the cultivars that they grow. We hope you will enjoy this coffee as much as we do!
