In the past, most Bolivian coffee was of average quality, but in recent years, specialty coffee production has developed rapidly, with many quite excellent beans emerging. The COE (Cup of Excellence) system, first implemented in Brazil in recent years, has gradually become popular. Bolivia has also introduced this system, which can not only inspire coffee farmers' planting enthusiasm but also improve coffee quality. COE beans, whether raw or roasted into coffee, are superior to ordinary coffee.

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 as decorative plants. 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 Arabica washed coffee beans exported to Germany and Sweden. Their flavor is not the best today and has a slightly bitter taste.
