SAN IGNACIO Coffee Farm in Bolivia-Coffee planting Story? Bolivian coffee brewing method?

This coffee comes from the San Ignacio region of Caranavi, where the best Bolivian coffee is grown. The coffee beans come from the AECAR Cooperative, located in the Entre Rios region of the state of Caranavi, Bolivia. The cooperative was established in 2001 and consists of 82 members with an average farm area of about 10 hectares. Members of the cooperative include the winners of the past Bolivia Cup Excellence Award.

Coffee is organically certified. San Ignacio is a rural area in Ayopaya province, between the city centre of Laz Paz and Cochabamba. Although the Cochabamba department is known as the "granary of Bolivia", Ayopaya is a region with a range of microclimates, including snowy peaks and tropical valleys. The area is rich in mineral resources and biodiversity and continues to be inhabited mainly by indigenous Quechua and Aymara communities. The warm climate in the tropics is very suitable for growing coffee plants because many families support their livelihood. Winding through the valley are two flowing rivers that branch northward from the Beni River: Rio Santa Elena and Rio Cotacajes. Tourists from the area can also stop near the beautiful Parque Nacional Isiboro-Secure.

Victor Mamani runs a coffee farm with his wife Aleja and their four young daughters: Yola,Sonia,Marisol and Magali. But it took them a lot of time, energy and effort to get to where they are today. Victor and Aleja, who were not originally from the region, began their coffee tour at cafetales (Coffee Farm) in San Ignacio. After five difficult years, each of them was able to buy their own cafe and moved permanently to San Ignacio in 2002.

Qianjie is recommended to cook:

Filter cup: Hario V60

Water temperature: 88 degrees

Degree of grinding: small Fuji degree of grinding 4

Cooking methods: the ratio of water to powder is 1:15, 15g powder, the first injection of 25g water, 25 s steaming, the second injection to 120g water cut off, waiting for the powder bed water to half and then water injection, slow water injection until 225g water, extraction time about 2:00

Analysis: using three-stage brewing to clarify the flavor of the front, middle and back of the coffee. Because V60 has many ribs and the drainage speed is fast, it can prolong the extraction time when the water is cut off.
