Finca Alasitas
This is a research profile, not an independently conducted farm visit. Producer and coffee relationships are shown only when the records agree. Check the research sources below for supporting evidence.
The story
Finca Las Alasitas is owned and operated by the Rodríguez family, who have been instrumental in reimagining the potential of Bolivian specialty coffee. The family established the farm in the Bolinda colony near Caranavi, focusing on high-quality production and the development of robust nursery programs.
Challenges
Due to the lack of a national coffee federation in Bolivia, the family has had to independently source seedstock and seek external advice to manage planting and local environmental conditions.
Innovations
The farm has implemented a reorganization strategy involving the removal of every third line of coffee trees to improve light exposure for the remaining plants. Additionally, they utilize advanced processing techniques such as 96-hour anaerobic fermentation in stainless steel tanks.
Published coffees linked to this farm
For blends, a farm may be named for one documented component without growing the entire coffee. These catalog relationships do not independently verify every lot, harvest or producer. See individual coffee profiles for traceability evidence.
