About this coffee
It is not easy for foreigners to connect with coffee producers in chaotic environments like Bolivia. Politics, culture, power relations, human relations, and the harsh natural environment are all intertwined and drag us further and further into chaos. The most famous Bolivian producer is Agricafe, and the rest of the producers remain in a black box.
Juan Boyan Guarachi, the man behind Nayra Qata, is a key person to unravel such a black box. He retired from Agricafe, where he worked for many years, and built a dry mill in La Paz last year. He started working with smallholders to process their coffee.
Juan’s ambition is to shine a light on smallholders in Bolivia who are still unknown to the world. Many smallholders come to Juan’s dry mill with their coffees. He can judge the quality correctly, process it properly, manage lots, and deliver them to coffee markets around the world. From a roaster’s point of view, Juan is the only point of contact for smallholders in Bolivia that no one knows yet.

What the roaster says about where it came from
We report what the roaster publishes and we have not checked any of it independently. A fact nobody publishes is not a fault of the coffee: almost no roaster in the UK states an importer or the price paid to the producer.
