Coffee Details

About This Coffee

Founded by Bolivian changemakers Andres and Marita, 4 Llamas is a mission-driven project rooted in sustainability, innovation, and community. Their coffee is grown in the highlands of Caranavi using agroforestry and layered permaculture systems that protect the surrounding ecology while building polycultural resilience across the farms.

What sets this lot apart is the processing. Alongside classic washed and natural lots, the 4 Llamas team pushes into experimental fermentation, working with native microbial communities under closely monitored conditions. Temperature, Brix, and pH are tracked at every step, including a vacuum-pressure natural process inspired by sous-vide. The result is a natural-processed coffee with uncommon clarity: ripe mango and lime lifted by a confectionery sweetness that carries from first sip to finish.

Through Familia 4 Llamas, a producer-centred initiative, the project shares technical mentorship, fermentation infrastructure, and export support with smallholder growers across Bolivia, building horizontal partnerships anchored in producer dignity.

How to Brew Bolivia 4 Llamas Natural

Espresso

Filter

If your cup tastes sharp or thin, grind a little finer to draw out more sweetness; if it turns harsh or drying, grind coarser.

How Much Coffee Is in a Bag?

The 283g bag brews roughly 19 filter cups (about 16 double espressos), and the 2lb bag yields around 60 filter cups (about 50 double espressos). As a light-roasted, experimentally processed single origin, it is a limited treat to savour rather than an everyday workhorse, so brew it carefully and enjoy each cup.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this better as espresso or filter?
Both work beautifully. Filter shows off the mango, lime, and floral clarity most clearly, while espresso concentrates the fruit and confectionery sweetness. Start with the recipes above and adjust grind to taste.

What does Bolivia 4 Llamas Natural taste like?
Expect ripe mango and bright lime, a confectioner's-sugar sweetness through the middle, and a gentle allspice warmth on the finish. It is juicy, clean, and fruit-forward rather than dark or roasty.

How fresh is it?
We roast to order and ship within one week of your roast date. This light roast is at its peak two to three weeks after roasting, so there is plenty of time to dial it in.

What is a lactic natural process?
The coffee is dried inside the whole cherry (natural processing) with fermentation guided toward lactic acids under controlled conditions. This builds the soft, sweet, fruit-forward character you taste in the cup.

Do you offer free shipping?
Yes. Enjoy free shipping within Malaysia on orders over RM80. Every bag is roasted fresh in Kuala Lumpur.
