A sweet coffee from the Los Rodriguez family in Bolivia. This Java Natural from their Waliki farm in Caranavi runs through a drying method specific to their farm, called coco natural (nothing to do with coconut). Cherries are washed, laid out on patio for 48 to 72 hours, then moved into one of Buena Vista's stationary box dryers until they hit 11.5% humidity. It's a setup particular to their wet mill, and it shows in the cup: vanilla, stewed cherries, brown sugar, and an edge of booze on the finish.

This natural-processed Java from Bolivia's Caranavi region showcases the fruit-forward character typical of natural processing, here centered on sweet cherries and brown sugar with a notable vanilla note. The Java varietal brings its own structural qualities to the cup, contributing to the overall sweetness Revolver Coffee has identified in this lot. Natural processing tends to amplify fruit and body compared to washed methods, and this expression from the Los Rodriguez family appears to emphasize those warmer, dessert-like dimensions. The vanilla and brown sugar components suggest a rounded, approachable profile—worth exploring if you prefer coffees that lean toward sweetness and darker fruit tones rather than brightness or acidity.
