Café Alto Asuncion - Bolivia 2009 Verified listing

Overview

She is a coffee producer from the colony Alto Ascension – Entre Rios. They arrived from the province of Inquisivi nearly 20 years ago. Eleuteria Villca has seven children, three boys and three girls. They have coffee plantations in the colony, where here children also help during the harvest season – whenever it doesn’t hurt their studies, because helping her seven children study is the most important thing for her. Thanks to their care and hard work they see the benefits from a good wet processing process and, above all, from having coffee that is recognized as high-quality. One of the disadvantages that she remembers is that years ago, coffee didn’t have a market like it does now from the Cup of Excellence and the sale of coffee to the fair-trade market. They sold coffee to intermediaries who didn’t pay very well. On the Cup of Excellence, she thinks that it’s good to show her coffee to the world, above all as coffee with excellent quality.
