The Advantage of Bolivian Coffee

Bolivia's advantage lies in its high altitude and excellent varieties. The traditional Typica grown here, along with small amounts of Caturra, is highly valued on the world market. In the past, Bolivian coffee trees were often planted around gardens as hedges, valued as decorative flowering plants, and true commercial production only began in the early 1950s. The great frost of 1957 badly damaged Brazil's coffee industry, and Bolivia benefited from the gap and developed rapidly. Some Bolivian coffee has been grown at much lower elevations, between 180 and 670 meters, where the Arabica washed beans exported to Germany and Sweden are not among the best today and carry a somewhat bitter taste.

South America is rich in coffee, and Bolivia is no exception. The unique tropical rainforest environment in parts of the country provides excellent natural conditions for organic coffee. Bolivian coffee has a rich, distinctive aroma, whether you smell the ground beans or the brewed cup, similar to a blend of floral and fruit aromas and leaving a lasting impression.

Lake Titicaca sits on the Kollao plateau on the border of Bolivia and Peru. It is the highest-altitude and largest freshwater lake in South America, one of the world's highest large freshwater lakes, the highest lake in the world on which large ships can navigate, and the third-largest lake in South America after Lake Maracaibo and Patos Lagoon.

Flavor Profile

The dry aroma shows roasted nuts and almond, with a smooth fruit acidity of orange and pomelo on entry. The overall profile carries sweet caramel and the smooth texture of nut milk, with impressive cleanliness and balance, and a charming herbal aroma in the aftertaste.

FrontStreet Coffee Recommendation

This Bolivian washed Typica leans on nut and caramel sweetness rather than sharp acidity, which makes FrontStreet Coffee's Brazil Cerrado Red Bourbon an easy companion from the same continent. A classic Brazilian single origin from the well-known Cerrado region, it is a Red Bourbon roasted medium, showing creamy peanut, toasted bread, caramel and hazelnut, with a rounded body, low acidity and a faint bittersweet edge. It works as pour-over, moka pot, espresso SOE, siphon or French press.

For a cleaner and sweeter expression of the same nut-forward character, FrontStreet Coffee's Brazil Queen Estate comes from Mogiana near South Minas, where fertile red volcanic soil lets the cherries take up plenty of nutrients. The estate grows the rare Yellow Bourbon, a natural mutation of Red Bourbon, and its fruit character is cleaner. Through pour-over, moka pot or a home espresso machine it shows sugarcane sweetness, fruit and chocolate.

If you prefer to drink this style with milk or as espresso, Brazil's low acidity and balance make it the backbone of FrontStreet Coffee's blends: the Classic Blend with its ample crema, the nut-forward Premium Blend, the evenly balanced Black Cocoa Blend and FrontStreet Coffee's Commercial Blend built for cafes, all of which use Brazilian beans for chocolate and cream aromas and a stable extraction.
