Almost the entire population within La Paz Region are coffee farmers by tradition that have spent their entire life in their small home towns and who characterized by being simple, humble and very hard-working people.

La Paz people claim to have Coffee in their blood; when they remember their childhood years, the first thing that comes to their memories is the image and aroma of a steaming cup of coffee. With nostalgia they evoke their first visits to the coffee farms during the cold days of December and the adventures lived there.

Then, during the year course they yearn for “the season” which is the popular name for the coffee bean harvesting and processing period in our country. The harvest days are characterised by the movement of people and the presence of vendors whom, with their products and trinkets fill every corner and markets of their little towns.

SHG

SHG (Strictly High Grown) specifies that the coffee was grown at an altitude around 1500 meters and higher. Coffee grown at a higher altitude and lower temperature produce a slower maturing fruit and denser beans; which creates a more desirable specialty cup and generally ,ore expensive, than coffees grown at lower elevations; this classification is higher than HG.
