Sol de la Mañana Programme, School for Coffee Farmers

This exceptionally full-bodied coffee with a fruity chocolate flavour was created in collaboration with Sol de la Mañana. With every cup, you support the development of small-scale Bolivian producers and their passion for coffee. The Rodriguez family, owners of Fincas Los Rodriguez and founders of this program, have been a role model for quality Bolivian coffee for many years. The Sol de la Mañana program is the only one of its kind in Bolivia and can be likened to a coffee school for local farmers and coffee producers. It takes seven years to complete, during which farmers learn how to grow coffee systematically and efficiently throughout the entire process, not just during the harvest.

Farmers learn how to start growing when to use fertilizers, and the proper methods for picking coffee cherries. The program also includes a model farm and regular seminars that allow farmers to meet and exchange valuable experiences. The programme has a high success rate thanks to strict criteria and has grown to more than 100 smallholders.
