Bolivia Tasting Pack
-
This pack contains 3 x 220g bags of coffee from Bolivia, selected by us!
Bolivia is one of the most compelling and least accessible origins in South America. Coffee is grown almost exclusively in the high-altitude valleys of the Yungas region, northeast of La Paz, with Caranavi the most significant area for specialty production. Elevations commonly reach 1,500 to 2,000 metres, among the highest in the coffee-growing world, and the combination of altitude, Andean volcanic soils, and significant day-to-night temperature variation creates conditions for coffees with real clarity, structured acidity, and a distinctive sweetness. The country's relatively small output, difficult terrain, and limited export infrastructure mean well-sourced Bolivian lots are genuinely hard to find in the UK market.
What Bolivia produces at its best is closer in register to the cleaner, brighter end of the Latin American spectrum than to the fuller, chocolate-driven profile of Brazil or the lower-grown Central Americans. Washed processing is common and tends to highlight the terroir clearly: stone fruit, citrus, and tea-like delicacy are characteristic. Honey and experimental processing methods are increasingly appearing from farms with the infrastructure to manage them carefully, adding fruit and body without losing the precision the altitude provides. Caturra and Catuai are the most widely grown varietals.

Bolivia: La Avanzada A fruity flavour profile coffee. Honey processed Caturra, Catuai, Typica.
This wonderfully juicy coffee is full of tropical fruit flavours - mango and papaya up front before a gentle lychee on the finish makes for a vibrant cup which will pull you right back for another sip.Bolivia: Arcangel, Dry Fermented Washed A citrus flavour profile coffee. Washed processed Caturra & Catuai.
Crisp and bright lime cordial when hot softens with a raspberry edge as it cools. A hint of extra creamy milk chocolate alongside that raspberry on the finish and aftertaste rounds out the cup.Bolivia: Pedro Flores, Mosto Washed A sweet flavour profile coffee. Mosto Washed processed Catuai.
Think delicate, sweet white peach and a little pop of white grape. A twist of lime to it and a sprinkle of white sugar sweetness makes this a sweet but elegant coffee. -
