About
Finca Don Carlos is another super coffee from the Rodríguez family. The Rodríguez's own a few small farms in Caranavi, as well as operating a buying point for local farmers to deliver cherry. The family act as a conduit between specialty coffee producers and specialty roasters, enabling small farmers to get their coffees to an international market, and access to great coffees for roasters like us. After some years of renovation and reorganising, Finca Don Carlos is almost up to normal production levels. The renovations have helped deliver good nutrition to the plants and allow more sunlight. However, this last crop has seen a bit too much sun which delayed development of the harvest. The lack of water meant that the cherry took longer to develop than usual and caused the harvest to be a month late.
