About
ABOUT
Three cheers for a Filter Blend of Peru’s La Bermeja and Bolivia’s Taypiplaya! This version pairs two cherished Andean partnerships, reprising one of our favourite combinations of The Filter Blend for a limited time. Soft and sweet acidity recognisable in pear and green apple accompanies friendly flavours of almond and honey.
Taypiplaya, from La Paz, Caranavi, comes via Agricafe’s Sol de La Mañana program, which exemplifies the “hub-and-spoke” model of regional collaboration. Since 2014, Agricafe, led by the Rodriguez family, has supported Bolivian coffee culture through this program, providing agricultural inputs at cost, hands-on agronomy and processing training, and prioritising cash payments and quality premiums. Taypiplaya’s growers joined in 2018, and this year, 30 producers contributed to this classic, comforting coffee.
La Bermeja, a single-community blend we’ve purchased since 2022, reflects the middle stage of our annual nesting strategy for Peru’s Tabaconas region. It follows El Pato, our Red Brick component, representing the broader micro region and precedes future filters featuring single farms. This approach highlights the overall terroir as well as the dedicated individual producers within the community.
