Swipala Café la Perla Boliven
Swipala Café la Perla Boliven
100% Arabica. Grand Cru: a real rarity
Café la perla is a single-origin Arabica coffee from Caranavi, in the Bolivian highlands. While two beans normally ripen in a coffee cherry, in rare cases only one is formed, the pearl bean. The pearl bean is a special coffee bean, a real rarity, which grows individually in a normally double-studded coffee cherry, spreading out in all directions and thus acquiring its characteristic round shape. All the aromas are concentrated in this one bean and give it this intense flavour when roasted.
Café la perla is an excellent organic Arabica coffee from the Caranavi region in the subtropical eastern slopes of the Andes in Bolivia. The coffee is grown by a cooperative on a single plot (finca y micro-lote). The pearl beans are then sorted out by hand. This special selection guarantees a fantastic quality of the green coffee.
The coffee is certified organic and is roasted and packaged as Grand Cru at the Oetterli roasting house in Solothurn, an organic roasting house. Gentle roasting in a drum roaster in small batches guarantees top quality coffee and freshness.
The owners of the Bernese company swipala GmbH worked for 2 years in Bolivia with the small farmers. Today, swipala buys the green coffee directly from the producer families (without intermediaries) and pays extra premiums for the special selection and organic cultivation. swipala maintains the cooperation with the Bolivian partners on the basis of the Fairtrade specifications. As many value-adding activities as possible are carried out in the country of origin. For example, the packaging was drawn by a Bolivian artist.
