Front Street-introduction to Bolivian Coffee

Bolivia's coffee production is dominated by a smallholder production system, with 23000 small farms ranging in size from 2 to 9 hectares, and in particular, about 40 per cent of Bolivia's coffee culture is mainly sold domestically. The main varieties are Arabica, such as Iron pickup, Kaddura, Cleo, Kaduai and Katim, as well as new varieties of gesha and sl28. The production season is from July to November, most of them are washed coffee beans, only some of them are sun-treated.

Almost all of Bolivia's planting is organic, which should be the focus of the next wave of boutique development. The main reason is Bolivia's backward economic development and infrastructure. Bolivia is still the poorest country in South America. Although Bolivia's unique changeable terrain is beneficial to the growth of coffee, poverty and poor infrastructure are key factors in coffee processing, transportation and quality.

The most famous producing area in Bolivia is La Paz, including Caravani, North & South Yongas, Inquisivi and so on. The region is best known as one of the most dangerous roads in the world, nicknamed Yongas Road of the Road of death, also known as "the most dangerous road in the world".

Even if the environment is so suitable for the development of coffee beans, poor infrastructure has become the biggest obstacle to coffee processing, transportation and export, so the output is far lower than that of other coffee boutique countries. Every time I get Bolivian beans, they are very precious.

From 2004 to 2009, Bolivia also held a COE competition. In the first COE competition held in 2004, there were 13 boutique bean cups with a total score of more than 84 points, and Champion beans scored as high as 90.44 points.

However, after 2009, the COE competition in Bolivia was cancelled because the Bolivian government was very anti-American and did not want the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) to finance any additional development plans in Bolivia, and there were no other sources of funding for the COE program.

Although Bolivia's coffee share is small and its popularity is not high, Bolivian coffee beans are almost all sweet, with floral, creamy and chocolate rhymes that almost everyone will like. The flavor is very direct and easy to understand, and there is great potential to grow amazing varieties.
