About this coffee
Sourced by our agency in Colombia
The Kantuta farm, located in the Yungas region of Caranavi, Bolivia, is owned by Mery Canaviri. With a total extension of 10 hectares, 3 of them are planted with coffee of the Catuai Rojo variety. At an altitude of 1450 meters above sea level, the farm maintains a simple agroforestry system, with shade trees such as cedar and sikily, which contributes to the environment.
The Kantuta farm has a rich history of more than 40 years in coffee production, started by Mery Canaviri's grandparents. The name comes from the kantuta flowers that grow abundantly in the area, a flower that is a symbol of Bolivia. Over the years, the farm has been managed by different generations of the family, maintaining a focus on coffee cultivation. Over time, the farm has adapted its production methods, but always respecting family traditions.
Coffee production on the farm is carried out in an artisanal manner, with a focus on sustainable and environmentally friendly practices. Organic fertilizers are used to ensure soil fertility. This approach allows for natural production, without the use of chemicals, thus preserving both the quality of the coffee and the ecological balance.

A few words about Mery Canaviri
For as long as I can remember, coffee has been a part of my life. I grew up watching my grandparents and parents work on the farm, taking care of each coffee with dedication. I learned as a child to plant, prune, and harvest, understanding that coffee is not only a crop, but a family legacy. Over the years, I assumed responsibility for the farm and decided to focus on specialty coffees, maintaining sustainable practices and improving each process.
I learned about coffee production from a very young age, observing and helping my grandparents and parents on the farm. They taught me everything related to the crop, from planting to harvesting. Over time, I acquired knowledge about the best practices, such as pruning, the use of organic fertilizers, and bean selection. I also learned by observing my neighbors; that the combination of family tradition and learning from the community has been fundamental to my development as a grower.
I feel very proud to be able to continue my family's legacy of coffee production, maintaining our traditions and, at the same time, adapting to the new demands of the market. My greatest pride is to see how every day's effort is reflected in the quality of our coffee, and how, thanks to our family work, we have been able to reach wider markets, such as BELCO. I am also proud of the fact that we are cultivating sustainably, respecting the environment, and ensuring that each bean we produce is a reflection of our passion for this crop.
My vision for the future of coffee is to continue betting on the production of specialty coffees, continually improving the quality of our beans and achieving higher scores. I want to expand the farm, plant more coffee, and make sure that we have a more sustainable production. My goal is to continue growing as a producer, learning from each harvest and sharing my knowledge with the new generations of my family. The legacy I want to leave behind is a prosperous farm, known for its excellent coffee, and the example of how effort and dedication can transform a small production into something recognized nationally and internationally.
