Introduction to the characteristics of high-quality coffee beans in Bolivian coffee estates with obvious floral flavor

Rich in mineral resources, mainly tin, antimony, tungsten, silver, zinc, lead, copper, nickel, iron, gold and so on. Tin reserves are 1.15 million tons and iron reserves are about 45 billion tons, second only to Brazil in Latin America. Proven oil reserves are 929 million barrels and natural gas reserves are 52.3 trillion cubic feet. The forest covers an area of 500000 square kilometers, accounting for 48 per cent of the land area.

[industry] mainly in food, textile, leather, wine, cigarettes and other processing industries. It has certain non-ferrous metal smelting capacity and has the third largest Vinto smelter in the world.

[agriculture, animal husbandry and fishery] Agriculture is backward. The country's arable land covers an area of 34000 square kilometers, accounting for about 3 per cent of the total land area. Grain production can only meet 34% of domestic demand, while the rest depends on imports. Fishery resources are poor. The main cash crops are cotton, coffee, tobacco, sugar cane, sunflowers and coca. The main agricultural and animal husbandry products are corn, rice, wheat, potato products and soybeans. In 2010, the national land planting area was 2.96 million hectares, with 7.99 million cattle, 2.14 million sheep and 2.57 million pigs. In 2010, the output value of agriculture, animal husbandry and fishery was US $2.31 billion, accounting for 12% of GDP.

[tourism] in recent years, attention has been paid to the development of tourism, and tourism infrastructure has been improved. There are 692 hotels with 15812 guest rooms. At present, there are 836 hotels of all levels with reception capacity, with more than 30,000 beds. In 2010, it received 671200 foreign tourists with a foreign exchange income of 314 million US dollars, mostly from Peru, Argentina, the United States, Brazil and Western European countries. In the same period, there were 520000 domestic tourists, and the revenue from the tourism industry was about 947 million US dollars. The main tourist attractions are Lake Titicaca, the ancient Inca city of Tiahuanako and the Snow Mountains of Ilimani.

[transport] the railway and road networks are concentrated in the west, and remote areas rely on air transport.

[foreign trade] successive governments have attached importance to the development of foreign trade, especially encouraging exports to stimulate economic growth. Bolivia has actively participated in the process of regional integration and has signed economic complementary agreements with most Latin American countries. In recent years, Bolivia has made great efforts to develop the natural gas export market and formulated a strategy aimed at becoming an energy supplier of the Southern Common Market (Mercosur). It now maintains trade relations with more than 80 countries and regions in the world. The main export products are fuel, natural gas, mineral products and garlic; the main imported raw materials and intermediate products, industrial equipment, consumer goods, transport equipment and food. The main export countries are Brazil, the United States, Argentina, Colombia and Venezuela.

[foreign investment] Foreign investment is mainly invested in oil, natural gas, commerce and service industries, mining and other fields. The main investors are the United Kingdom, Italy, Spain, the United States and Chile.

[people's life] the Bolivian government has listed education and culture, health and nutrition, health facilities, urban construction, housing and employment as problems that need to be solved urgently in social development policies. In 2010, the government set a minimum wage of 679 Bolivianos ($96). Although the economy has maintained growth in recent years, the gap between the rich and the poor is still wide. 64% of the people live below the poverty line, of which 37% are in abject poverty. In recent years, about 1 million Bolivians have emigrated, most of them in the domestic industry

I remember that the admirable champion bean in 2007 was Coffee Manor, but her score was overtaken by the 2008 champion Cafe de Cordillera, when the international judges gave it a high score of 92.03. in 2009, Takesi Snow vein Manor got a score of 93.36, surpassing the champion of 2008, and the bidding price was as high as US $35.05. it was the highest bid in CoE national competition in 2009! Osher has been bidding for Bolivia's champion beans for three years in a row. She is really attracted by her delicate floral fragrance, charming sweet vanilla and clean and changeable flavor. In 2010, due to many factors, Bolivia decided to cancel the national competition. Looking at this batch of Takesi winning beans, we found that the goal of planting coffee in the whole Takesi manor was 200ha, but only 13 hectares were planted and harvested very little Typica species, with an annual output of only 120bags. This is not only fine agriculture, but also a farming model that respects nature. Takesi is the name of the local natives. The place name and the snow water from the mountains, also known as Takesi, after the publication of the CoE final in 2009, Takesi is no longer unknown, proud, energetic!

Bolivia's high-quality estates, very high altitude, perennial low-temperature environment, so that coffee fruit growth is slow, tight enough, aroma is also charming, floral aroma is obvious, such as careful treatment, cherries with the same maturity, often have a clean and meticulous high-grade taste, this elegant vanilla and honey aromas are very attractive The flower aroma of this champion bean is very diverse, vanilla and honey are very long-lasting Takesi manor in the Mururata mountain area of Sud Yungas, about 100km from the capital La Paz, you must follow the Inca ancient road to reach the valley, here, still belong to the branches of the Andes, the manor belongs to the Agrotakesi SA institution, the whole farm has about 2500 hectares, elevation about 1900 to 3000 meters above sea level, coffee growing Takesi, up to 2100 meters above sea level, this should be one of the rare high-altitude manors In terms of the coffee garden I have been to, only Ethiopia can be compared with the Hama Cooperative in Yegashev. The aroma of both is equally remarkable, but the difference is that Takesi has the same Bolivian champion flavor, with a variety of flowers and sweet vanilla, which is particularly outstanding and unforgettable.
