For me, best coffee ever! Roast into second crack and smooth; roast into first crack and smooth. My second review. First purchased as a sample, returned to purchase more.

I’m still working on improving my roasting skills, but this is my favorite bean so far.

This is one of the best coffees I’ve had… roasted right up to 2nd crack… my new fave.

Great bean. First time roasting on a Kaleido M2. Easy going with great results. Roasted light to medium. Smooth with slight chocolate notes. Will definitely purchase again.

I never knew you could buy green coffee beans. This has been such a cool first time experience. I just received these yesterday and roasted a batch to city plus roast. This is my first time roasting my own coffee and this is by far the best cup of joe I've ever had at home. Smooth, rich and nutty flavor. Not acidic which is a huge plus. I roasted my beans on a cast iron skillet and it wasn't difficult. Know your range, I have a gas stove so the temps get hot fast. I almost couldn't tell I reached the 2nd cracking because once my beans started cracking it was continuous. I stopped roasting when I started noticing some oils. It made a great blend of medium to dark roast. I also want to mention how great the customer service was. My first order was stolen from the packaging. I received an empty envelope and emailed the company. Michelle requested photos of the packaging slip and the package overall. She put in a claim and sent me another batch through UPS. Within a few days, my new package arrived, with the beans!

Our favorite. Makes a nice light roast. I do 2 cups or so in an air fryer, for a total of around 15 minutes. Shake and stir it every 1.5-2 minutes. Wait 24 hours, medium grind, pour over at somewhere in the range of 1:12 or 1:15 grounds-to-water ratio. (I've tailored my cup to 25g coffee and 330g water, wife does 20:300). Delicious. Sometimes we mix in 5g or so of other roasts and it changes the flavor in interesting ways. Beans I didn't particularly like add great notes when mixed in with this one. Your mileage may vary depending on your tastes, but for us it's liquid gold. For reference, our previous favorite was Stumptown's house blend.

I roasted it to dark just past second crack, mixed it 3-1 with the Mexican robusta, and then put it aside for about 12 hours. The result is an absolutely delicious blend that has a rich smooth flavor profile and a strong caffeine kick. Some people drink coffee to wake up; this blend will make you wake up to drink coffee. Drinking this fresh-roast Bolivian makes me feel sorry for our fellow coffee drinkers who are still drinking that old, dead, stale, corporate, fancy-label coffee. They have no idea how real coffee is supposed to taste. I plan on ordering more, and making this one of my regular offerings.

Roast it at least into start of second crack and it is as advertised, chocolate and with a caramel finish. Roast it before the second crack and it has nice qualities but overall tastes too raw and unfinished for my tastes. This is based on my experience of 2 consecutive roasts.

Roasting it dark. Your at the supermarket and you buy the dark chocolate bar with the highest cocoa content. That is what I think about when drinking this one.

This is one of my favorite so far. Roasted right before second crack in a Behmor. Smooth, nutty with hints of chocolate.

I am new to roasting green coffee beans. I am so glad I choose these as my first beans to roast. They are delectable. I can only image I will get better at roasting and the coffee will become even more enjoyable. I also enjoy supporting the CO-OP and FTO.

I keep coming back to this one nice bean. Straight forward to roast and tasty. We mix it with a Columbia for a nice half cafe.

Excellent quality with a tremendous flavor profile.

One of the best beans I have roasted. I use these for making a cold brew concentrate which I then mix with hot water to drink. Seven ounces of roasted beans makes enough for about 12 cups of coffee. I have used other beans from Bolivia and all produce a very robust cup in a 1 to 3 ratio of brew to water. This particular bean is outstanding. As an extra benefit benefit this bean also makes a very good second. I add water back in and let it set for about 12 hours. I get enough for six more cups with about a 1 to 2 ratio this way. And this is also very good coffee.

I love my coffee in the morning. La Minata Estate has been my go to coffee for some time. Bolivian Caranavi has found a spot as my favorite when I want a change. Full bodied and flavorful with a slight chocolaty flavor. Full American roast. Try it, you will be more than satisfied.

I bought this coffee twice and both times it was a great tasting coffee. I roasted the first batch dark right at second crack. That was a bite to dark, the second batch I pulled it off right before second crack and it was perfect. So Medium to dark I found to be a nice roast. Every time I order coffee from here I order a pound or two of La Paz.

For those of you venturing into green coffee, start here as this is a reference standard, IMHO. No hint of 'pork', that seems to be present in Bourbon, Blue Bourbon and Blue Mountain varieties.

This is an excellent bean. Medium to medium dark seemed best to me. A couple of days rest and it makes a delicious cup. Nothing really pronounced in the flavor profile to me, but just an overall nice flavor. Nice aftertaste as well. This is one of my family member's favorite bean so far. I have purchased it twice, and will again.

This has quickly become one of my favorites! I don't tend to like sweet, almost flavored drips, but this one....the caramel finish at the end is just delightful. I have many customers who are now choosing it over their regular drip. I would definitely recommend this bean!

I really love this bean. It has a very nice flavor that stands on its own. It definitely has a bourbon like flavor within its notes. I would highly suggest it.
