Front Street-introduction to Bolivian Coffee

Bolivia is famous for producing high-quality coffee and, like Brazil, has good conditions for coffee cultivation and production. Bolivian raw beans are large and uniform in size, and the green ones are high-quality raw beans.

Bolivia's Karanawi has a bright sour taste like lemon and citrus aromas, as well as a hint of chocolate. Bolivian Karanawi coffee has a refreshing and pleasant sour taste, but its sour taste is not particularly prominent and blends well with other flavors. It is characterized by a lingering aftertaste of dry taste.

Bolivia not only has a unique growing environment, but also has an excellent variety of coffee-Typica. In the past two hundred years, the main variety of coffee in Yanggas area is the ancient Tibica. Tibica coffee has a balanced and soft flavor, with lively aroma and rich sour taste. Unfortunately, the low production of Tibika and poor disease resistance have led to low coffee production in Bolivia. There are even fewer opportunities to taste Bolivian coffee.

Bolivian coffee is mainly grown in the Yungas region northeast of La Paz. It borders the Amazon basin and is about 1500-2500 meters above sea level with an average annual temperature of about 10-15 ℃. Therefore, it ensures the suitable temperature for the growth of coffee and protects the coffee plant from frost. In addition, the Bolivian coffee growing area has a distinct dry and wet season and fertile soil, which is a paradise for the development of boutique coffee. Bolivian coffee is usually picked by hand, mostly washed and processed.

So in order to increase coffee production, Bolivia, like other Central American countries, began to experiment with growing Kaddura and Catuai. Kaddura variety has high yield, high quality, rich sour taste and resistance to leaf rust. Kaduai variety has high yield, strong environmental adaptability and tolerance to diseases and insect pests. Planting these two varieties is expected to increase the yield as much as possible while ensuring the flavor quality.

The overall taste of Bolivian coffee is rich and balanced, the aroma is rich and unique, similar to the mixture of flower and fruit aroma, impressive. The perennial low temperature environment makes the coffee fruit grow slowly, compact enough, the aroma is also charming, the floral aroma is obviously medium and low acidity, but the feeling is not monotonous, on the contrary, it appears soft and fresh, with the sour taste of citrus fruit.

Knowledge: Bolivia is a landlocked country, about 1/3 of the territory is the Andes, rugged terrain, high altitude.
