The advantages of Bolivian coffee lie in its high altitude and excellent coffee varieties. The traditional Typica and small quantities of Caturra grown here are highly valued in the world market. In the past, Bolivian coffee trees were often planted around gardens as hedges, serving decorative purposes. Real commercial production only began in the early 1950s. The severe frost of 1957 seriously damaged Brazil's coffee industry, while Bolivia benefited and developed rapidly. Bolivian coffee is grown at altitudes of 180-670 meters, with its Arabica washed coffee beans exported to Germany and Sweden. The flavor is not among the best today and has a slightly bitter taste.

Flavor: Dry aroma of roasted nuts and almonds, with smooth fruit acidity of sweet orange and pomelo upon entry. Overall, it presents sweet caramel, the smooth texture of nut milk, and quite impressive performance in cleanliness and balance. The herbal aroma in the aftertaste is also quite charming.

South America is rich in coffee beans, and Bolivia is no exception. Some regions of Bolivia have unique tropical rainforest environments that provide excellent natural conditions for organic coffee growth. Bolivian coffee has a rich and unique aroma. Whether it's the aroma of the beans after grinding or the aroma of the brewed coffee, it's quite distinct and rich, similar to a mixture of floral and fruit aromas, leaving a deep impression.

Lake Titicaca is located on the Kollao Plateau at the border between Bolivia and Peru. It is the highest-altitude and largest freshwater lake in South America, one of the world's highest-altitude large freshwater lakes, and the world's highest-altitude lake navigable by large ships. It is the third-largest lake in South America (after Lake Maracaibo and Patos Lagoon).
