Day 22: Bolivia Caranavi Matriarcas Project

  • Onyx

    The Matriarcas project stands as a shining example of how sustainable and socially responsible practices can be integrated into the coffee industry to empower women and uplift communities. By visualizing women's work, empowering them through education and leadership development, and improving their quality of life, the project creates a positive cycle of progress and equality within Bolivia. This coffee, featured in our Doyenne subscription, was an easy offering to include within the Advent lineup, highlighting the hard work of these producers.

    Coffee was a bit weak... a little fruity and I didn't get the hint of plums as described in the video... I'd give it a 83/100

    Last couple brews I had a shorter than expected drain time, but I got this one back on point. The coffee was unfortunately a bit meh to me. I spent a few minutes tasting and mulling it over and I can only really detect some stone fruit flavor. Not even really plum, but more like a bit of peach pit or slight citrus flavor.

    I hadn't had a Bolovian in a while, and I actually thoroughly enjoyed this one. Brewed on a Chemex. Really smooth cup. Brown sugar was the dominant note, with a linger of some kind of spice, like nutmeg. Body was more delicate than expected, but it coated the tongue nicely without feeling heavy.

    A little tame compared to yesterdays coffee for me, but still a solid cup. Brewed on my kalita today and got all the plum, brown sugar, and baking spice notes. 

    Love the story behind this coffee and learning about the Matriarcas project. It's great knowing the coffee I drank today contributed positively to the lives of the communities around it.

    Have to recapitulate the other reviews - Some good flavors made fleeting appearances, but "tame", "weak", "meh" were the predominant tasting notes. Being the only coffee from Bolivia on here, and part of the Doyenne series, I would have liked to have more available to try to dial in.

    I did do 3 brews:

    1) Posted recipe on V60 - This gave me the most sweetness of the bunch, with plum skin up front.

    2) Aeropress at posted temperature, 2 minute immersion, ground at 3 2/3 on Ode Gen 2 - This accentuated the stone fruit a lot more. It had more brightness, but I didn't care for the residual flavor as much.

    3) Posted recipe on another conical dripper, scaled back to 12.5g - This one suffered from underextraction, but generally the same as my V60 attempt.

    What was odd about this coffee to me was that none of the sweetness or present flavor notes really lingered, and further dissipated as the coffee cooled down. Overall, I think this is actually a decent specialty coffee. Whoever grew it should be proud of the work they are doing; If anything, it was just a little lackluster and (I think) stale compared to other Advent offerings.

    I brewed with the MK dripper and a Kalita 185 filter. There is more sweetness as the coffee cooled down.

    I had low expectations because of all the woke cliche virtue signalling, but happened to get the grind right for the first Decent espresso extraction.  It ran a little faster at 19 s but there was the sour plum-Allspice up front, almost sweet, with some dryness on the finish.  In case anywone else is still working through the Calendar, try under extracting some as over extraction will subdue or kill the flavors.

    When you're working on academic papers, especially things like literature reviews, it’s easy to get overwhelmed by how much research is needed. There’s always a lot of sources to comb through, and trying to make it all fit into one cohesive argument can feel impossible sometimes. I've been there, and after a few sleepless nights, I realized I needed a little extra help. That’s when I came across this literature review helper Honestly, they helped me out when I was stuck and made the process way smoother. It’s not about shortcuts, but sometimes having support like this can make all the difference.

    It's fascinating how projects like the Matriarcas in Bolivia are changing the coffee industry by focusing on community and sustainability. It really makes you think about how much effort and thought goes into the things we often take for granted, like our morning coffee. I’ve found that having a similar mindset can help when you're working on academic or professional projects too sometimes you just need a little extra help or fresh perspective. When I was stuck on a research paper, I used https://99papers.com/ and it really helped me refine my ideas. It's nice knowing there's support out there for when you hit a wall

    It’s inspiring to see the coffee industry spotlighting women-led projects like Matriarcas, making a meaningful impact on communities.. snake game typically involves navigating the snake around the game board, collecting food pellets, and avoiding collisions with walls or the snake's own tail.

    I’ve always believed that fair trade is about more than just Block Blast fair prices. It’s about supporting communities and ensuring that people have the resources they need to thrive. Matriarchs go beyond this by not only providing fair wages but also by empowering women through education and leadership development. It’s inspiring to see how this project is helping to create a sustainable and equitable future for women in Bolivia.
