Boutique single Coffee Lake Titicaca in Bolivia tapping Pagabana small farmers wash iron pickup truck

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. Coffee trees used to be planted around gardens as hedges and ornamental plants in Bolivia. Real commercial production began in the early 1950s. Bolivia benefited from the severe frost of 1957, which severely damaged Brazil's coffee industry and quickly expanded. Bolivian coffee is grown at an altitude of 180 to 670 meters, and the arabic washed coffee beans are exported to Germany and Sweden, where the taste is not the best today, but a bit bitter.
