The Excellence of Bolivian Coffee

The advantages of Bolivian coffee lie in its high altitude and excellent coffee varieties. The traditional Typica and small amounts of Caturra grown here have received high praise 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 great frost of 1957 severely 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. Their flavor is not among the best today and carries a slightly bitter taste.

Pour-over Brewing Method

Hand-poured Bolivian coffee: 15g of coffee grounds, medium grind (Fuji ghost tooth grinder #4), V60 dripper, water temperature 88-89°C. First pour 30g of water, let bloom for 27 seconds.
