Bolivian Fernando Hilaquita Organic
$27.15
This coffee truly shines when roasted light to medium. Expect a crisp, clean cup with a touch of sweetness and a hint of fruitiness—offering a more vibrant, exotic experience with higher acidity than washed-process varieties. Lighter roasts bring out bright, sweet lemony floral notes with subtle fruit undertones, balanced by a gentle herbal and nutty finish. The honey processing method enhances its smooth body and rich mouthfeel. At a medium roast, you’ll still enjoy a crisp citrus sweetness upfront, with mellow fruit tones as it cools, gradually developing into a classic South American profile with creamy, smooth, nutty, and chocolaty notes.
Origin & Producer
Sourced from the lush coffee-growing regions of Bolivia, this exceptional honey-processed coffee comes from Fernando Hilaquita, a dedicated producer known for his commitment to organic and sustainable farming practices. Grown at high altitudes, this coffee benefits from the rich soil and ideal climate of the Bolivian Andes, resulting in a cup full of complexity and vibrant flavors.
Processing Method: Honey Process
Unlike washed coffees, honey processing leaves a portion of the coffee cherry’s mucilage on the beans during drying, giving it a natural sweetness and a more complex flavor profile. This method enhances the coffee’s body while maintaining a bright, fruity acidity, making it a unique offering compared to traditional washed coffees from the region.
Tasting Notes
Best enjoyed at a light to medium roast, this coffee delivers a crisp, clean cup with a slightly fruity and sweet profile. The lighter roasts highlight sweet lemony floral notes with soft fruit undertones, balanced by a touch of herbal and nutty flavors. As the roast deepens, the coffee develops a classic South American character—smooth, creamy, and rich with nutty and chocolaty tones while still retaining a touch of citrus brightness.

$27.15This coffee shines best from a lighter medium roast to as dark as you prefer. Compared to previous seasons, it’s cleaner in taste with slightly less fruitiness but still maintains the signature complexity of a honey-processed coffee. A lighter roast highlights bright citrus, floral, and soft fruit notes, with a unique oak/peat-like finish. It’s sweet and layered but requires careful roasting to avoid underdevelopment. Our favorite roast level is medium, where the coffee remains balanced and complex, introducing the rich chocolate and smoky undertones that Dominican coffees are known for. These flavors complement the more exotic fruity and citrus notes, creating a well-rounded cup. For those who enjoy a darker roast, this coffee develops a more complex depth than its washed counterpart, though it may not be as smooth and rich. However, it still delivers a bold, full-bodied experience for those who prefer a deep, intense flavor.
