How are Bolivian Coffee Beans? The Perfect Fusion of Bolivian Typica's Floral and Fruity Aromas

FrontStreet Coffee - Bolivian Coffee

Bolivia is one of the five most diverse countries in the world. It's a landlocked nation surrounded by five countries and deeply influenced by them, with a population of about 10 million. Indigenous peoples, who make up about 60% of the total population, are divided into 36 ethnic groups, while people of mixed European and indigenous descent (Mestizos) account for 26%, along with other European ethnic groups and nationalities. The terrain features Illmani Peak at 6,462 meters high, Lake Titicaca (the world's highest navigable alpine lake where large ships can sail) at 3,812 meters above sea level, and tropical rainforests! Such diverse terrain can be said to be a paradise for specialty coffee micro-batches.

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. In recent years, the Cup of Excellence (COE) system, first implemented in Brazil, has gradually become popular, and Bolivia has also introduced this system. On one hand, it can stimulate coffee farmers' enthusiasm for cultivation, and on the other hand, it aims to improve coffee quality. COE beans, whether as green beans or when brewed into coffee after roasting, are of higher quality than ordinary coffee.

Coffee Varieties

Typica is the most widely planted coffee variety in Bolivia. Some farmers also grow other varieties, mainly Caturra, Criollo, Catuai, and Catimor, as well as new varieties like Gesha and SL28. The harvest season is distributed from July to November, with most coffee beans being washed, and only a portion being natural processed.

Bolivian cultivation is almost entirely organic, and it is precisely this primitive yet scientific approach that has allowed Bolivian coffee to maintain its quality despite reduced production. Whether it's the aroma after grinding the beans or the aroma of the brewed coffee, both are quite distinctive and rich. The mixture of floral and fruity aromas in Bolivian coffee, without losing its full-bodied feel and balance, is truly impressive.

Although Bolivia's coffee production is not high, quality coffee cannot be hidden. Every coffee bean appears particularly precious, and for every enthusiast, enjoying a cup of Bolivian coffee is undoubtedly a precious and wonderful experience.

We believe that in the future, Bolivian coffee will surely regroup and make a name for itself in the coffee world.
