Bolivia, which has a small population and is quite poor, depends on minerals and natural gas and agriculture, and coffee cultivation is only a minority. Many farmers grow coca leaves because the price fluctuation of coca leaves is relatively small and can provide more living security. Bolivia's unique geographical environment is conducive to the growth of coffee, high enough altitude, dry and wet climate. But poverty and poor infrastructure are key factors in coffee handling, transportation and quality killers.

The United States has set up several small wet coffee treatment plants in Bolivia, and even though the coffee industry has made many improvements to improve quality, Bolivian coffee still lacks the reputation of neighboring Colombia and Brazil. Bolivia's coffee production is dominated by a smallholder production system, with 23000 households producing coffee in the country.

Most of the coffee in China belongs to ancient native species, such as Itsuka and Kaddura.

Flavor and palate: the taste of high-quality Bolivian coffee is mostly very sweet and pure, rarely fruity. Bolivia's diverse terrain is called a paradise for micro-batches of boutique coffee, but it is not too much.

Producing areas:

YUNGAS

95% of Bolivia's coffee comes from this area and is covered by a whole forest. It has one of the best high-altitude coffee in the world and is the oldest producing area in Bolivia.

The most famous producing area is La Paz La Paz, west of Yungas, and coffee buyers must go through the famous "Yongas Road" to visit coffee producers. The road is usually an one-way street, quite tortuous, and there is no protective fence to protect the vehicle from falling 600 meters down the valley. This road is also called "the most dangerous road in the world". With a vast territory, coffee roasters use regions to describe coffee producing areas, such as Caranavi and Inquisivi, with an elevation of 800-2300 meters above sea level and a harvest period from July to November.

Santa Cruz

In the easternmost part of Bolivia, the altitude is not high and there is not much high-quality coffee. It is 410 meters above sea level and the harvest period is from July to November.

BENI

Located in the northeast of Bolivia, it has a vast territory and sparsely populated area. Some of them belong to YUNGAS geography. It is 155 meters above sea level and the harvest period is from July to November.
