Alpaca Estate Coffee Beans

When it comes to coffee in the Americas, many might mention Brazil, Colombia, or Panama, among others. In fact, most countries in the Americas, thanks to their geographical advantages and prime locations, are highly suitable for coffee cultivation. Today, we’re talking about Java coffee from Bolivia’s Alpaca Estate. Its flavor is no less impressive than that of Geisha—it boasts orange blossom aromas, tangy pineapple notes, the smoothness of berry juice, the scent of sunflower seeds, and a caramel-like aftertaste. The taste is full-bodied with a distinct sweetness.

The estate producing this Java coffee is named after its iconic animal: the Alpaca Estate. Alpacas are native to North America and resemble sheep in appearance. They typically inhabit plateaus at altitudes of 4,000 meters and are commonly found in countries such as Peru, Bolivia, and Chile. The Java coffee they produce is highly sought after each season due to its unique and distinctive flavor.
 
The Java variety is a premium coffee cultivar. Originally, it was widely believed to be a variant of Typica, but genetic analysis has revealed that Java actually originates from the Ethiopian coffee variety Abysinia. Perhaps for this reason, many praise the flavor of Java coffee as being no less exceptional than that of Geisha. Its cherries and beans are both long, with bronze-colored top leaves. The plants grow quite tall but yield very little. However, its flavor is outstanding, rivaling that of Geisha, and it offers stronger resistance to leaf rust and coffee berry disease, making it well-suited for smallholder farming.
