Finca Takesi in Bolivia is the world's tallest coffee farm, located on a mountain of 2450 meters above sea level. 40 per cent of coffee seedlings fail to grow every year because they are too high and too cold. Compared with other coffee farmers, it takes them an average of a year and a half more to bear fruit and more effort. Before 2007, coffee was not grown there. At that time, many agronomists, botanists and coffee experts thought that it was not suitable to grow coffee. They thought that coffee should not grow in such a high place, but the farmers ignored it. During the process, they worked very hard, but their efforts finally paid off. Just after seven years of operation, they won the honor of the best coffee beans in Bolivia. They are unknown, and they have always been very unpopular in China.

Us and Japanese forces compete for gourmet Bolivian coffee

Takesi farmers originally planted Typica coffee. After winning the prize, they bought Geisha seeds from a famous jadeite estate in Panama in 2009. This is the first harvest this year. When the coffee was put on the market two months ago, it sold for a sky-high price of $60 per 50 grams of ripe beans. This year, they only produced 40 kilograms of coffee beans, which were divided between the Japanese coffee company (Manuyama) that signed with them and the coffee giant of the United States. However, because the coffee merchants have a very large stir-frying machine, they can stir-fry a lot of beans at a time, but if they exceed the upper limit of stir-frying beans, they will think that they are useless. therefore, the farmer cannot sell the remaining 2 kilograms of coffee beans, so it is up to him to eat them by himself. that's why I had a chance to buy his beans, but in fact, I was just abandoned. Although I got those 2 kilograms of beans, but because Bolivia is a very closed and conservative landlocked country, export is very difficult, ordinary people can not find a way to transport coffee beans back!

S A. Agro Takesi Estate Coffee Manor, with a total area of 2.500 hectares, coffee cultivation area of about 200ha, other crops, coffee, apple and orchid shared park area of 600ha, the other 1.900 hectares are preserved as natural forests to maintain Tarms's special climate and foggy environment. High quality volcanic soil and moisture are the best conditions for coffee trees to grow. The unique ecological geology contains hydrogen and organic volcanic soil, which covers the surface of the coffee-growing land, and the annual rainfall is 2.000 to 2.500 mm, with relative humidity of 70% and average temperature of 15 to 20 degrees Celsius. Bolivia coffee growing area continues to improve shade trees, can promote the maturity of coffee fruit more full, with sugar content to reduce the bitter and sour taste of coffee In order to achieve the highest quality of coffee beans, the coffee fruit must grow to be as mature as a red cherry. The peel is picked and crushed by hand for three-stage water washing and fermentation, followed by a large sieve to be ventilated and dried naturally.
