A brief introduction to the market price of Bolivian boutique coffee beans with dried almonds

Bolivia not only has a unique growing environment, but also has an excellent variety of coffee-Typica. In the past two hundred years, the main variety of coffee in Yanggas area is the ancient Tibica. Tibica coffee has a balanced and soft flavor, with lively aroma and rich sour taste. Unfortunately, the low production of Tibika and poor disease resistance have led to low coffee production in Bolivia. There are even fewer opportunities to taste Bolivian coffee. So in order to increase coffee production, Bolivia, like other Central American countries, began to experiment with growing Kaddura and Catuai. Kaddura variety has high yield, high quality, rich sour taste and resistance to leaf rust. Kaduai variety has high yield, strong environmental adaptability and tolerance to diseases and insect pests. Planting these two varieties is expected to increase the yield as much as possible while ensuring the flavor quality.

Because Bolivia's production is low, we don't have many chances to drink it. It is precisely because the smaller the output, the more precious it is. Because of my personal preference for Central American coffee, I still have more expectations for Bolivia, a small and beautiful coffee producer.

In the past, most of the coffee in Bolivia was of mediocre quality, but in recent years, the production of boutique coffee has developed rapidly, and there have been a lot of pretty good beans. In recent years, the COE (Cup ofexcellence) system, which was first implemented in Brazil, has gradually become popular. Bolivia has also introduced this system, which, on the one hand, can stimulate the enthusiasm of coffee farmers, on the other hand, it is also to improve the quality of coffee. COE beans are better than ordinary coffee in both raw and roasted coffee.

The overall taste of Bolivian coffee is rich and balanced, the aroma is rich and unique, similar to the mixture of flower and fruit aroma, impressive. The perennial low temperature environment makes the coffee fruit grow slowly, compact enough, the aroma is also charming, the floral aroma is obviously medium and low acidity, but the feeling is not monotonous, on the contrary, it appears soft and fresh, with the sour taste of citrus fruit.

The aroma of Bolivian coffee is rich and unique, both the aroma of ground beans and the aroma of coffee produced are obviously strong, similar to the mixture of flower and fruit aroma. Impressive coffee in Bolivia really began to be commercially produced in the 1950s (at first coffee trees were just planted around the house as a fence), but the coffee industry developed rapidly in a very short time. This is partly due to the impact of the frost in Brazil in 1975, when Brazil's coffee industry was hit hard, and Bolivia's coffee industry took the opportunity to develop rapidly Bolivia is a landlocked country, about 1/3 of the territory is the Andes, the terrain is rugged, the altitude is very high, La Paz is claimed to be the highest capital in the world. Although there is no beautiful tropical seaside scenery, the lake scenery and the unique scenery of the Andes are also extremely nostalgic, and the Uyuni Salt Lake, known as the Mirror of the Sky, is a wonder of the world. Without a developed economy, this is one of the poorest countries in South America, but the people here are quite optimistic and open, really different people have different pleasures of life.

The early Bolivian coffee was of low quality and the market was very poor. Usually the picked coffee fruit is bumped all the way to the processing plant after a simple peeling treatment. Due to the imperfect infrastructure, the traffic is underdeveloped. Coffee farmers have to overcome the rugged mountain road and transport the beans to the higher altitude area of La Paz for washing. If the coffee fruit is not delivered to the processing plant in time, it is easy to ferment and rot on the wet mountain road. As a result, the coffee of good quality was destroyed.

Bolivia has made a lot of efforts to improve the quality of coffee, stimulate the enthusiasm of coffee farmers and make coffee farmers have a deeper understanding of fine coffee. After the introduction of the 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 the champion bean score was as high as 90.44 points. In addition, in order to solve the problem of untimely post-processing, a washing treatment plant has also been built in Yanggas area. Let the freshly picked coffee be post-processed as soon as possible to prevent the decline in quality caused by transportation. Coffee farmers are also constantly refining their planting techniques. In short, Bolivia has finally completed a magnificent turn in quality through its own efforts in all aspects.
