Sweet Tooth Illimani, Bolivia
In an an ongoing attempt to expand our horizons of coffees sourcing, we're proud to announce the release of our first offering from the country of Bolivia. This lot, which we're calling Illimani after the small canton where the coffee is produced, was grown around 1500 meters in the mountains above the town of Caranavi.

ed by small communities of producers, and then delivered to the Agricafe's Buena Vista mill at night, often by taxi. The coffee is then pulped and processed in tanks in a method that can only be described as a hybrid between dry and wet fermentation. Coffees are then dried on small raised beds under covers. Cozy. As an espresso, the Illimani shows both complexity and versatility. Pulled a bit quicker (29s), it makes a clean, snappy shot with lots of tart berry acidity and a heavy floral aroma; with flavors of raspberry and hibiscus. Pulled just a bit slower (34s), the raspberry remains up front, but the shot finishes with a nice sweet raisin-y flavor that is reminiscent of Raisinets candy. We recommend starting with the following brewing recipe: Temp: 198-200 degrees at the group Time: 28-32 seconds Brewing Ratio: 50-55% or 30-34g of liquid Pump Pressure: 8.5-9 Bar or 110psi at the group Dose: 17-18 grams in a VST "18g" or "17g" Strada basket Days Rested: 6-10 What is Sweet Tooth? Sweet Tooth is single origin espresso. As a roaster that is committed to promoting our producers and bringing them out of anonymity, single origin espresso has always been important to us. What’s more, the best shots of espresso we’ve ever had have been single origin—dynamic, sweet, and complex. They are balanced and complete all by themselves. Throughout the year, we will be showcasing eight to twelve single producers under the name Sweet Tooth, in homage to our original Sweet Tooth blend, an anti-blend that explicitly showcased the producers whose coffees comprised it. Sweet Tooth will be a rotating single origin on which we’ve put our stamp of approval as a great shot of espresso.
