About This Coffee

A Kenyan coffee variety, grown in Bolivia. Now that's an interesting combination.

Meet Bolivia Los Rodriguez Kusillo Batian, a naturally processed coffee from the mountains of Caranavi, produced by the Rodriguez family.

What makes it different? Batian was originally developed in Kenya, but here it's grown in Bolivia, bringing a different expression to the cup.

Expect the comforting sweetness of sugarcane and rich molasses, balanced by a refreshing hint of green apple peel. There's also a deeper fruity side, with notes of dark berries, ripe plums and chocolate.

Producer/ Farm

Meet the Rodriguez family, one of the pioneering families helping put Bolivian specialty coffee on the map.

Led by Pedro Rodriguez, alongside his children Daniela and Pedro Pablo, the family has spent decades improving coffee quality in Bolivia. Today, they manage their own farms, experimenting with different varieties and growing techniques.

One of those farms is Kusillo, nestled in the mountains of Caranavi.

Fun fact: Kusillo means "monkey" and refers to a playful character from Bolivian folklore. The name reflects the family's belief that a little happiness and humour should always be part of what they do.

Process

This coffee is naturally processed, meaning the coffee cherries are dried with their fruit still intact.

During drying, the fruit influences the coffee's flavour, often creating a sweeter, fruitier and fuller-bodied cup.

In This Cup

Sugarcane · Molasses · Green Apple Peel

Think of the natural sweetness of fresh sugarcane juice, followed by the deeper, caramel-like richness of molasses.

There's a subtle fruitiness too, with hints of blackberry, ripe plum and raisins, followed by a touch of dark chocolate.

And then comes the interesting part — green apple peel.

Not quite the sharp acidity of biting into a green apple, but a gentle, slightly tart freshness that balances the rich sweetness.

Why You'll Like This Coffee

If you enjoy coffees that are sweet, comforting and full of flavour, with a little something unexpected, this one's worth exploring.

The sugarcane and molasses give it a lovely depth, while the green apple peel keeps things fresh and interesting.

And the best part? It works for both filter and espresso.

Brew it as a filter to explore its layered sweetness, dark fruits and gentle acidity.

Pull it as an espresso for a richer, more concentrated cup, bringing out its molasses-like sweetness and chocolatey depth.
