Special Farming Practices

Even though Ciudad Bolivar is produced in a region where the predominant production is traditional coffee, Ciudad Bolivar is cultivated at a higher altitude, reaching 2.100 meters above sea level. This altitude requires special practices to ensure the plants can thrive in the cooler and more challenging conditions found at the elevation. One of them is shade-grown cultivation. This involves planting coffee trees under the shade of taller trees or other crops.

Higher Altitude Coffee

Coffee that is grown at higher altitudes is generally considered to be of higher quality. This is because coffee plants that grow at higher elevations are exposed to cooler temperatures, which slows down the ripening process and allows the coffee cherries to develop more complex flavors.

In addition, coffee plants that grow at higher altitudes are often grown in nutrient-rich soil, and receive more rainfall and sun exposure. These conditions can lead to coffee beans that are denser and more flavorful. Ciudad Bolivar is a great example of this nutrient-rich soil, although it’s harvested at the same farm as traditional coffee, the sensory profile is more complex with orange and dark chocolate notes.
