So 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, guarantee

We know that Arabica coffee cannot be grown at altitudes higher than 2000 meters, and if the altitude is too high, the coffee trees will freeze due to the low temperature. Bolivian coffee is mainly grown in the Yungas region northeast of La Paz. Bordering the Amazon River basin, it is about 1500-2500 meters above sea level and has an average annual temperature of about 10-15 ° C. Therefore, the appropriate temperature for coffee growth is guaranteed, and coffee plants are protected from frost damage. In addition, Bolivia coffee growing areas dry and wet seasons, fertile soil, is the development of fine coffee paradise. Bolivian coffee is usually hand-picked and processed by washing.

Early Bolivian coffee was of poor quality and poorly marketed. The coffee cherries are usually picked and then simply peeled and sent all the way to the processing plant. Due to inadequate infrastructure, transportation is underdeveloped. Coffee farmers have to overcome rugged mountain roads to transport beans to higher altitudes in La Paz for washing. Coffee cherries that don't get to the processing plant in time can easily ferment and rot on wet mountain roads. As a result, the coffee that was originally of good quality was destroyed.

Bolivia has made many efforts to improve the quality of coffee, stimulate the enthusiasm of coffee farmers, and make coffee farmers more aware of fine coffee. After the introduction of COE competition, in the first COE competition held in 2004, there were 13 high-quality bean cups with a total score of 84 points or more, and the champion bean score was as high as 90.44 points, and the price of raw beans also rose accordingly. In addition, in order to solve the problem of late post-treatment, a washing treatment plant has also been built in the Yangas area. Let the freshly picked coffee be post-processed in the fastest time to prevent quality degradation due to transportation. Coffee farmers are also constantly refining their own cultivation techniques. In short, Bolivia has finally completed a magnificent turn in quality through its own efforts in all aspects.

Bolivia not only has a unique growing environment, but also has an excellent coffee variety-Typica. For 200 years, the coffee varieties in Yangas have been dominated by the ancient Tibica. The Tibica variety has a balanced and soft flavor, with lively aromas and rich acidity. Unfortunately, tibica production is low and disease resistance is poor, making bolivia's coffee production low. The chances of tasting Bolivian coffee are even rarer. So in order to boost coffee production, Bolivia, like other Central American countries, began experimenting with growing Caturra and Catuai. Kadura varieties have high yield, high quality, rich sour taste and resistance to leaf rust. Kaduai varieties have high yield, strong environmental adaptability and disease resistance. The two varieties were planted with the expectation of maximizing yield while maintaining flavor quality.

Bolivian coffee has a rich and balanced overall taste, rich and unique aroma, similar to a mixture of floral and fruit aromas, impressive. Long years of low temperature environment, so that coffee fruit growth is slow, close enough, aroma is charming, floral aroma is obvious acidity is relatively low, but it does not give the feeling of monotony, but it is soft and fresh, there are citrus fruit sour.

Because Bolivia produces so little, we don't have much chance of drinking it. Because the smaller the yield, the more precious it is. My personal preference for Central American coffee is to expect more from Bolivia, a small but beautiful coffee-producing country.

In 1863, a rich deposit of saltpeter was discovered in Atacama province on the Pacific coast. In 1879 Chile sent troops to occupy Kuangqu, Bolivia and Peru united, and Chile had a "Pacific War." Bolivia lost its only coastal province, including the important port of Antofagasta, in 1883 and ceded the Pacific coast rich in saltpeter to Chile in 1904. But Bolivia has always claimed sovereignty over this place and claimed that the 1904 treaty is invalid. On March 26, 2009, Morales signed a supreme decree declaring that the original name of Bolivia (República de Bolivia) was changed to "Plurinational State of Bolivia"(El Estado Plurinational de Bolivia).

Coffee trees used to be planted around gardens as hedges and ornamental plants in Bolivia. Real commercial production began in the early 1950s. Brazil's coffee industry was badly damaged by the 1975 frost, but Bolivia benefited from it and thrived.

Bolivian coffee market:

Bolivian-grown coffee, of which Arabica washed beans are exported to Germany and Sweden, tastes not the best today and is slightly bitter

Bolivian coffee has the advantage of high altitude and excellent coffee varieties, where traditional iron pica and small amounts of kadura are highly valued on the world market.

Bolivia is not a big coffee producer, but the excellent altitude and climatic conditions of the La Paz Mountains make the coffee produced here excellent. Bolivian fine coffee is delicate, bright, sweet and aromatic, and is a typical coffee that makes people feel clean and relaxed. The coffee here has subtle fruity aromas such as pear, apple, apricot, orange and lemon. On the palate, malt and chocolate and nutty flavours are pleasant with sweet notes

One third of Bolivia's territory is Andean, rugged terrain, mainly road transport, accounting for more than 85 per cent of transport. The main railway and road networks are concentrated in the west, and remote areas rely on air communication. Road coverage is the lowest in South America. Moreover, there is also the Ronggas Highway, the world's most dangerous road known as the "Road of Death". It has no developed economy and is one of the poorest countries in South America. However, the territory has beautiful lake scenery and unique scenery of the Andes Mountains. The Salt Lake of Uyuni, known as the mirror of the sky, is a wonder of the world.
