Bolivia Uchumachi La Paz - Coffee of the Month

£9.50 GBP

From one of Bolivia’s oldest coffee-growing regions comes this small and delicious lot which is bright and balanced with notes of green apple, panela (unrefined sugar) and toasted pecan nuts.

Grown by three dedicated farmers, Eduardo Tola, Andrés Uluri and Gonzalo Mamani, in Uchumachi, in the La Paz region, this characterful coffee brings together Catuaí and Caturra varietals cultivated at 1,300–1,500 metres above sea level on 30 hectares of hillside farms.

Coffee first took root here in the mid-20th century, when new roads opened the way for small scale agriculture. By the 1990s, the area was thriving, supported by international development projects that helped farmers hone their craft and reach global markets through the Cup of Excellence programme.

Our partners at Atoq began working with the producers of Uchumachi in 2022, shining a light on their work and even establishing a roastery in Bolivia to celebrate locally grown coffee. Despite the challenges of political unrest and shifting markets, a new wave of enthusiasm has swept through Bolivia’s coffee scene in recent years. Young producers are returning to the land, proud to continue a tradition that connects their communities with coffee lovers around the world.

How will my coffee be packaged?

We use heat sealed bags with a one-way valve (to let gases escape but none in) and this will keep your coffee fresh for up to four months unopened (if you really want to keep it that long!)  We use box-bottomed resealable valve bags as our default but if you want the tall non-resealable valve bags then please ask in the notes for order section.  We then pack your bags of coffee into bespoke cardboard boxes.  These will prevent your coffee from being damaged in transit and are 100% recyclable.  

Where does The Bean Shop deliver to?

We currently deliver all over the UK and Europe.  It can get a bit tricky further afield than that as it becomes increasingly difficult to keep track on the parcel's whereabouts. To be honest there is probably a coffee roaster a bit closer if you're outside Europe anyway!

How much does postage cost?

No-one really likes paying for postage but in order to avoid increasing our prices we have opted to charge a flat-rate of £3.00 for all our UK orders.  This is expensive if you only buy one bag of coffee but becomes very reasonable if you order more bags.  We use Royal Mail 1st class for orders up to 3 bags.  For orders 4 bags and over we use DPD 48 hour delivery as a default (this option will require a signature upon delivery.)  

In geographically isolated areas of the UK, DPD can take longer than 48 hours so we have added the option of paying for Royal Mail which could be more efficient.

How long will it take? 

We aim to deliver your order within 48 hours of receiving it (under normal circumstances) and are often much quicker!  During peak periods (i.e. Christmas) your order may take a little longer due to delays or extreme weather conditions.  

If I'm not in?

For orders of 1 bag of coffee our boxes are post-box friendly so should be delivered whether or not you're in.  For larger parcels, usually the delivery person will leave a card saying it has been returned to the post depot where you can collect it from.  Many customers find it easier to have their coffee delivered to their place of work so that there is always someone there to accept it.
