Green (Unroasted) Bolivian Apolo™

About This Coffee

This coffee is from the Apolo region of Northern Bolivia, an indigenous area that had never commercially grown or exported coffee until beginning partnerships with Wildlife Conservation Society and Cafe Kreyol. The project involves 5 indigenous Quechua-speaking communities that predate the Incas. When roasted light, this coffee displays a very defined tangerine acidity, chocolatey flavor, and sweet aroma. One community, Trinidad, is known as the "cocaine for coffee" project, where approximately 85% female producers have transitioned from coca to coffee production.

Café Kreyol

Café Kreyol was founded in January 2012 when its founder travelled from Northern Virginia to Haiti to scout coffee growing regions, starting with 200 producers and growing the supply chain to 2,800 people by 2024. The roastery operates a Loring S70 Peregrine from a 10,000 square foot facility in Manassas, Virginia that includes a production roastery, green coffee warehouse, cupping lab, and classrooms. All coffees are USDA Organic certified, sourced through direct trade partnerships with Haitian producers including COOPACVOD, Haiti's oldest running cooperative with over 850 members. The company pays farmers up to 300% above Fair Trade minimums and invests over $1 million annually in Haiti. Café Kreyol won Roast Magazine's 2023 Roaster of the Year award in the macro category, and the business has more than doubled in size since.
