Bolivian boutique coffee what is Bolivia's unique coffee bean treatment?

Some time ago, the front street coffee on the shelves of a coffee from glass via, called Bolivian cocoa sun Kaddura. We often hear that the altitude of coffee planting will have a great impact on the flavor of beans, the higher the altitude, the better the flavor of coffee beans, so coffee will also be planted at high altitude. However, there is one strange thing you may not know.

That is, there is a place that goes in the opposite direction and wants to grow coffee at a low altitude. This place is Bolivia. Unlike other coffee producing areas, Bolivian coffee has to drive down for several hours from a city of 3600 meters above sea level. Coffee can only be grown in areas below 2000 meters above sea level.

Bolivia has high altitude and diversified topography, creating high-quality and sour boutique coffee Bolivia is a dark horse producing area of boutique coffee in recent years, located in various estates with high-altitude and complex terrain in South America, with different characteristics.

Today, Qianjie Coffee is going to introduce the special treatment of coffee beans in three estates and Bolivia.

Bolivian Coffee Bolivia Coffee

Towering peaks, dreamy salt lakes, grasslands rich in wildlife resources. The superior natural environment and resources make it the cradle of coffee. Bolivia may produce negligible coffee in the coffee-producing countries of South America, but this beautiful country brings boutique coffee as charming as its scenery, so locals proudly call Bolivian coffee "the taste of heaven".

Unlike other coffee producing areas, Bolivian coffee can be grown only after hours of driving down from a 3600-meter city to areas below 2000 meters above sea level. Among them, North Yonggas Highway (North Yungas Road) is recognized as the first dangerous road in the world. The mountain road is basically close to the edge of the cliff, and there is no guardrail, there are foggy days, often overturning, so it is also known as the "death road".

Alpaca Manor

The manor is named after the cute animal alpaca in Bolivia. Although the area of the manor is small, it is famous all over the world. With all the natural resources suitable for coffee growth, such as high altitude, fertile soil and lush forests, the manor owner hopes to use this manor to show local farmers modern planting techniques and ideas. and let them know that new coffee trees can coexist with old ones.

Alpaca Manor is an old estate that has been in operation for 15 years before it met Pedro, which is trying to promote Bolivian coffee beans on the international stage. But they also receive tutoring from Pedro, gradually growing different coffee beans separately and in a better way to produce high-quality boutique coffee beans.

Alpaca Manor has a wide variety of coffee beans, including bourbon, kabuki Java, SL28/SL34, Kaddura and so on.

FLORIPONDIO Mumandra Coffee Manor

The Mumandra Manor and the Castle Heritage Manor are located in the same area, the Samayi Pata area, which is high in altitude but not easy to grow coffee, but they have found suitable microclimate and excellent soil blocks in the area. So Mumandra Manor has become an experimental manor of boutique coffee! The estate grows more than 50 boutique coffee varieties, including Red Kaddura, SL28/SL34, Batian, Pacamara, Java and so on.

It is worth mentioning that there are really a lot of wooden mandala in the manor. It is a neurotoxic plant. In traditional culture, witches will eat its soup to communicate with the gods. The Mudra Manor often reminds visitors not to touch and smell the Mudra.

Eagle Coffee Manor in GAVILAN Province

Martin, the owner of the provincial eagle manor, grew up in the coffee town of Caranavi, Bolivia, where local coffee farmers have stopped growing coffee because of a decade-long market recession. Martin also gave up, and then decided to start over together after meeting Pedro, taking Bolivian coffee beans to a new level, so he set up the Provincial Eagle Manor.

Shengying Manor is a young manor with excellent strength. I believe there will be a chance to drink their coffee in Taiwan in the near future!

Bolivia's unique method of handling coffee beans

We all know that the treatment of coffee beans has a lot to do with the local climate, especially the number of days of sunshine and the difficulty of obtaining water, as well as the degree of development of local treatment plants.

As the coffee producing areas in Bolivia are relatively cloudy and sunny, the sun schedule must be very fast to avoid rain. They developed a method called cocoa solarization, which turns every half an hour during the sun and is sent to the dryer for secondary drying before it is fully dry for three days to reduce the water content to 12.5. The fermentation process, which is flipped every 30 minutes, creates a clean and bright process that is difficult to achieve in the general sun.

In the process of washing, it is found that some Bolivian coffee beans are suitable for the traditional way of removing pectin with water and fermentation bacteria, while others are suitable for fermentation without water, developing 16 hours of low temperature anhydrous fermentation water washing, very special! The original water fermentation water washing treatment law will be fermented in water for 18 hours.

No matter with or without water fermentation, we pay great attention to every detail and strictly monitor the moisture content, Brix sugar content, pH value and so on, all in order to produce world-class coffee!
