Bolivia is tiny as coffee origins go. The Yungas region northeast of La Paz does most of the work, with producers growing on steep slopes at altitudes between 1,400 and 2,000 metres. The logistics are brutal and the volumes are small, which is why Bolivian specialty comes and goes on European shelves without a lot of warning.

The cup is worth chasing when it appears. Typica and Caturra dominate, processed washed on smallholder farms, producing a profile that leans floral, citrus, and honey-sweet — more East African than Central American in character, despite the geography.

If a Bolivian shows up on a roaster’s menu, grab it. The supply is small enough that the window closes fast.

Bolivia is klein als je naar koffie-herkomsten kijkt. De Yungas-regio ten noordoosten van La Paz doet het meeste werk; producenten verbouwen op steile hellingen op hoogtes tussen 1.400 en 2.000 meter. De logistiek is meedogenloos en de volumes zijn klein, en daarom verschijnt en verdwijnt Boliviaanse specialty op de Europese schappen zonder veel waarschuwing.

De kop is de jacht waard wanneer hij opduikt. Typica en Caturra domineren, gewassen verwerkt op kleine boerderijen, met een profiel dat neigt naar bloemig, citrus en honingzoet — qua karakter eerder Oost-Afrikaans dan Midden-Amerikaans, ondanks de geografie.

Als een Boliviaan op het menu van een brander verschijnt: pak hem. De aanvoer is klein genoeg dat het venster snel sluit.

Die Logistik ist brutal, die Mengen klein — und genau deshalb taucht bolivianischer Specialty in europäischen Regalen ohne viel Vorwarnung auf und verschwindet wieder.

Die Tasse ist die Jagd wert, wenn sie auftaucht. Typica und Caturra dominieren, gewaschen aufbereitet auf kleinen Höfen, mit einem Profil, das in Richtung blumig, Zitrus und honigsüß geht — vom Charakter her eher ostafrikanisch als mittelamerikanisch, trotz der Geografie.

Wenn ein Bolivianer auf der Karte einer Rösterei erscheint: zugreifen. Die Verfügbarkeit ist klein genug, dass das Fenster schnell zugeht.
