South America is rich in coffee beans, and Bolivia is no exception. The unique tropical rainforest environment in some regions of Bolivia provides excellent natural conditions for organic coffee growth. Bolivian coffee has a rich and distinctive aroma. Whether it's the aroma after grinding the beans or the aroma of the brewed coffee, it's quite prominent and intense, similar to a blend of floral and fruit notes that leaves a lasting impression.

The advantage of Bolivian coffee lies in its high altitude and excellent coffee varieties. The traditional Typica and small amounts of Caturra grown here are highly regarded in the world market. In the past, Bolivian coffee trees were often planted around gardens as hedges, serving decorative purposes. True 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 washed Arabica coffee beans exported to Germany and Sweden. Its taste is not among the best today and carries a slightly bitter note.

Flavor: Dry aroma of roasted nuts and almonds, the entry reveals smooth fruit acidity of sweet orange and pomelo, with overall sweet caramel and smooth nutty milk texture. The cleanliness and balance are quite impressive, and the herbal aftertaste is quite charming.
