Illimani is the name of a town or "canton" in the Caranavi region of Bolivia. I personally have never heard of anyone screening for peaberry beans coming out of Bolivia. There are only a handful of legitimate coffee companies/mills in Bolivia and, as ...

... Guatemala Volcan de Fuego Guacatepeque. But it may lack the big mouth feel that you are looking for.
