Description

The Bolivia Organic Apolo coffee comes from the indigenous region of Apolo in Northern Bolivia, a place that had never commercially grown or exported coffee until recent collaborations with the Wildlife Conservation Society and Cafe Kreyol. This initiative aims to create a model of ecological preservation and sustainable economic income, partnering with five indigenous communities who speak a form of Quechua predating the Incas. The coffee from this region is quickly gaining recognition as one of Bolivia's top offerings.

Origin Story: In the heart of the La Paz Department, Apolo has transformed its agricultural landscape with the introduction of coffee cultivation, driven by a commitment to environmental preservation and community empowerment. This coffee reflects the rich cultural heritage and innovative spirit of the region.

  • Espresso

    Espresso requires the finest grind, almost like powdered sugar. This method uses high pressure to force hot water through the finely ground coffee, resulting in a concentrated shot of coffee.

  • Single Use Pod

    A medium grind is needed for this method. The coffee is brewed by dripping hot water over the grounds, contained in a Single Use Pod.

  • Drip Coffee

    This method requires a medium grind, similar in texture to sea salt. The coffee is brewed by dripping hot water over the grounds, which are contained in a filter.

  • Pour Over

    Pour over, like V60 or Chemex, calls for a medium-coarse grind. This method involves pouring hot water over coffee grounds in a filter and letting the coffee drip into a vessel below.

  • French Press

    A coarse grind is best for French Press. This brewing method involves steeping coffee grounds in hot water for several minutes before pressing down a plunger to separate the grounds from the brewed coffee.

  • Cold Brew

    Cold brew requires the coarsest grind, similar to breadcrumbs. It involves steeping coffee grounds in cold water for an extended period, usually 12 hours or more, to produce a smooth, rich coffee concentrate.
