“Cocaine for Coffee Project”
A large indigenous community of 35 families, this group was looking for a solution to the coca plant taking all of the nutrients out of their soil, and rendering it more and more impossible to grow other crops. This community is made up of 90% female farmers, who recently transitioned from growing coca to growing coffee. We call it our “Cocaine for Coffee Project”. The land had harder clay soil from growing so much coca, yet in the past 5 years, they have already seen a significant amount of regeneration. We continue to see the same progress, and believe it will be even better as time goes on.

Bolivia Indigenous Apolo
Origin: Bolivia
Species: Arabica
Varietal: Castillo, Typica
Process Method: Washed
Apolo is an indigenous region of Northern Bolivia that had never commercially grown or exported coffee, until they began working with Wildlife Conservation Society and Cafe Kreyol in order to create a model of ecological preservation, and economic sustainable income.
The coffee from this region, with a very defined orange acidity (when roasted light), chocolatey flavor, and sweet aroma, is quickly taking it’s place as one of the top coffees of Bolivia. One of the communities, Trinidad, is also known as our “cocaine for coffee” project. The producers of the Trinidad community, about 85% female, have transitioned totally from producing coca to coffee.
