Front Street-introduction to Bolivian Coffee grading

Bolivia, located near Brazil, South America's largest coffee producer, is still a place unknown to many coffee lovers. But the country is famous for producing high-quality coffee and has good conditions for coffee cultivation and production as well as Brazil. Bolivian raw beans are large and uniform in size, and the green ones are high-quality raw beans.

The majority of Bolivian coffee varieties are Cadura and Tippica coffee produced in the traditional way. Bolivian coffee is mostly cultivated by organic farmers and is currently exported through fair trade to European consumer countries such as Germany and the Netherlands. Bolivian coffee is famous for its high quality, thanks to fertile land suitable for coffee growth. Although it is not yet famous in the world, its quality will be greatly improved under the natural planting environment, coupled with the support of cooperatives for cultivation techniques and seedlings.

This classification standard is mainly because the quality of coffee produced at high altitude is generally higher than that at low altitude, because high altitude and low temperature, slow coffee production is conducive to the accumulation of good substances. And the raw beans with high maturity have good expansibility when baking, which is beneficial to baking, and the quality is more stable.

At present, the coffee producers using this classification standard are Central and South American countries such as Guatemala, Mexico, Honduras, El Salvador and so on. Take Guatemala as an example, the most advanced coffee is called SHB (short for Strictly HardBean) very hard beans, which is grown at an altitude above 1350m, followed by HB (HardBean) hard beans, planted at 1200m--1400m above sea level, SH (Semi HardBean) slightly hard beans, EPW (Extra Prime Washed) super quality water washed beans, PW (Prime Washed) high quality water washed beans, EGW (Extra Good Washed) special quality water washed beans, GW (Good Washed) good quality water washed beans, respectively, at an altitude of 1200m. About 1000m, 800m, 600m, 800m, 800m, 600m, 600m, 800m, 800m, 600m, 800m, 800m, 800m, 800m, 800m, 800m, 800m, 800m, 800m, 800m, 800m, 800m, 800m, 600m, 800m, 800m, 600m, 800m, 600m, 800m, 600m, 800m, 600m, 800m, 600m, 800m, 600m, 800m, 600m, 800m, 600m, 800m, 600m, 800m, 600m, 800m, 600m, 800m, 800m, 600m, 800m, 800m, 600m, 800m, 800m, 600m, 800m, 800m, 600m, 800m, 800m, 600m, 800m, 800m, 800m, 800m, 800
