Bolivia Karanabi Yonggas Don Carlos Manor Pearl Bean flavor?

Our partner in Bolivia is Agricafe founded by Pedro Rodriguez and his son Pedro Pablo and daughter Daniela. Agricafe can be said to be an important driving force in reviving Bolivia's boutique coffee industry, and now it is almost an important pillar of Bolivia's boutique coffee industry.

Several well-known bakers in Europe and America, such as Intelligentsia, Has Bean, Stumptown, Drop Coffee, 49th Parellel, Maruyama … It is almost always possible to buy Agricafe beans. Pedro has created several important private estates in the Karanabi producing area, such as Finca Don Carlos and Finca Alastias. What is even more exciting is that Finca El Fuerte Manor has also been created in the high-altitude area of Saint Cruz, the eastern producing area of Bolivia, which has been harvested this year.

In addition to his own estate, Pedro started the El Sol de Manana project with the dream of reviving Bolivian boutique coffee and taking care of the lives of coffee farmers. The project put a lot of effort into mentoring member small farmers, providing technical support for various important technologies such as breeding, pruning, fertilization, and harvesting, and purchasing cherries harvested by member small farmers at higher prices, and using Agricafe's own processing plant for post-processing, so that farmers' income and quality can enter a good cycle of sustainable management.

The indigenous Indians, who make up about 60% of the total population, are divided into 36 ethnic groups.

Bolivia is one of the five most diverse countries in the world. It is a landlocked country surrounded by five countries and deeply affected by it. It has a population of more than 1000. The indigenous Indians, who account for about 60% of the total population, are divided into 36 ethnic groups. Mixed Indo-European (Mestizo) accounts for 26%, in addition to 100 European and other ethnic groups. There are Illmani peaks up to 6462 meters above sea level, Lake Titicaca, the highest and navigable alpine lake in the world, and tropical rain forests! Such a variety of terrain can be said to be a paradise for fine coffee micro-batches. However, the production of Bolivian coffee is declining year by year.

From 1997 to 2014, the export volume dropped to only 1 stroke 4 every year. According to Roast Magazine, its coffee production ranked 38th and even ranked 35th in the United States. Fine micro-batches of Bolivian coffee can be said to be very precious and hard to find. This is due to the backward economic development and infrastructure of Bolivia, which is still the poorest country in South America. In addition, due to the unique and changeable terrain, Bolivia has become a key factor in coffee processing, transportation and quality killer because of poor infrastructure.
