Felipe Guarachi Tola
Chuquiago, owned by Felipe Guarachi Tola, sits at approximately 1,550 metres in Bolivia's renowned La Paz region, where fertile soils and a favourable climate are ideal for specialty coffee. The farm's name derives from "Chuquiago Marka", the indigenous Aymara name for the area that is now La Paz - a reflection of the farm's deep connection to the region's cultural heritage.

About the Pacamara Variety
Pacamara is El Salvador's famous giant: a 1958 cross between Pacas (a compact Bourbon mutation) and Maragogipe (the huge-beaned Typica mutation). The result is one of coffee's largest beans and one of its most distinctive cup profiles.
Roasters prize Pacamara for drama - layered acidity, unusual savoury-sweet complexity, and flavours that swing from stone fruit and cola to herbal and chocolate depending on terroir and processing. It is a fixture of Cup of Excellence winning lots across Central America.
Felipe Guarachi Tola's washed lot from 1,550 metres in La Paz leans into that complexity: dried plum, cola and cooked red grape with a mild peanut-butter richness, syrupy sweetness and layered acidity.
