Sweet Dreams: Bolivia Illimani

You can’t disagree that our newest single origin from Bolivia is as comforting as it is exciting. Sweet Dreams, with citric notes of sweet mandarin and juicy nectarine, delivers a chocolatey brew that is a perfect recipe for the winter sipping. No need to travel the world or the seven seas to find your next exciting espresso or pour over. 
 
Nestled among multiple national parks and nature reserves is the Caranavi region of Bolivia. The Illimani community that calls these mountains home grows Catuai and Typica varietals using traditional farming practices in a relatively new and booming industry. Sharing the same shade and soils as tropical fruits such as pineapples and citruses, Sweet Dreams wondrously mirrors these tasting notes – a true testament to such a prolific terroir.  
After each farmer harvests their 2-3 acre lots, the cherries are fermented and then washed processed before drying for up to 20 days in the warm equatorial climate. This production method for coffee has been shaped by municipal policy reform and heavy investment from national and international agencies. Growers are skilled at applying sustainable farming techniques to adapt to the ever-changing trends in the industry, producing truly exceptional coffees like Sweet Dreams.  

There’s no doubt that this single origin rises to meet high standards of flavor across the board. Not only do we know it, but so do the Bolivians. So much so that they’ve hosted competitions and events for the past 15 years, resulting in a deep pride as coffee growers and a robust cafe culture. Thankfully, you don’t have to take our word for it. Order today and taste what Sweet Dreams are made of!
