If you're wondering what Bolivia tastes like, we have a good comparison - a bit like coffee from neighbouring Colombia. High body, viscously envelops the taste buds, hazelnuts, cocoa and floral notes. The slight acidity adds brightness to the coffee, but doesn't overwhelm the cup.
Coffee cultivation is not a big part of Bolivia's economy. It's more of a niche, which kept us on our toes for a long time. Until we met a Berlin-based representative of the Asocafe cooperative. Her enthusiasm for Bolivian coffees got to us and we have no regrets.
Asocafe is located in Taipiplaya, in the heart of Bolivia's Los Yungas region. It is a vast forest ecosystem between the Andes and the Amazon lowlands with a tropical and subtropical climate. It is perfectly suited to the cultivation of arabica.
