According to indigenous Muisca mythology, Bochica was the father of modern civilization. Described as bearded a man who brought morals and laws to the people, Bochica also taught indigenous people agriculture, crafts and other trappings of civilization. Our Bochica blend is carefully sourced from our origin partners by our QC origin teams and is faithful to the traditional washed profile associated with Colombia: well-rounded, full body, chocolate and fruit-forward with bright acidity. Our Bochica is sourced from smallholders in Colombia's most famous coffee growing regions. These farmers typically use the traditional Fully washed method of processing. Cherry is selectively handpicked and then pulped, usually on the farm. After pulping, coffee is fermented in tanks for 26 to 36 hours. Then, parchment is washed in clean water and laid on parabolic beds to sundry for up to 20 days. We pay a premium for sun-drying, and for overall quality, to help producers remain sustainable. In addition to paying a premium for quality, Sucafina is also supporting communities through our sustainability programs. A premium from every bag of Bochica will go to support projects in partner communities."
