FrontStreet Coffee - Bolivia Coffee Introduction

They help coffee farmers master better cultivation techniques; they help coffee farmers use better machinery and equipment; they teach growers to cultivate high-quality coffee beans under conditions of social responsibility and economic sustainability. It is precisely this kind of positive guidance and support that has driven the rise of specialty coffee in Bolivia in recent years.

2017 was the first production year of this program, and yields have already doubled, reaching about 20 bags per hectare. At the same time, the program has grown from the initial ten participating farmers to more than 50 today.

As Daniela Rodriguez said:

"We are giving them the tools and know-how, but they are actively choosing to follow our advice and invest in their farms. Now they can see the results, they trust us 100% and helping their neighbors achieve similar results."

Pedro Rodriguez has been engaged in coffee cultivation in Bolivia for more than 30 years and is one of the pioneers of Bolivia's specialty coffee industry. In 2012 he founded the Agricafé coffee company to guide local specialty coffee cultivation, and he runs it together with his daughter Daniela Rodriguez and his son Pedro Pablo Rodriguez.

Agricafé owns and operates 12 original coffee farms, the state-of-the-art Buena Vista washing station and Cupping Room, as well as a thriving dry milling and export business near La Paz. They have also successfully connected local small-scale farmers with high-value specialty markets through the Sol de la Mañana program, achieving the goal of win-win cooperation.

FrontStreet Coffee Recommendation

For the floral lift and juice-like lemon acidity of this Bolivian washed lot, FrontStreet Coffee's washed, high-grown single origins are the closest comparison. The FrontStreet Kenya Little Tomato is double-washed, a technique that maximizes its juiciness, with cherry tomato, smoked plum, pear, black plum, and brown sugar notes. The FrontStreet Yirgacheffe Gotiti Cooperative is washed and graded G1, showing white jasmine, lemon-citrus acidity, and a green-tea finish. Both are clean, bright washed coffees in the same vivid, fruit-forward style as Sol de la Mañana.
