Bolivia
La hermosa Bolivia tiene el potencial de ser un gran país productor de café Arábica de especialidad, pero carece de la infraestructura para perfeccionar los procedimientos de procesamiento y transporte de las cerezas a través del país. Cuando se combina esto con una historia de caficultores mal remunerados, no es de extrañar que el interés por el café de especialidad Boliviano haya disminuido. Project Origin ha reconocido el potencial de este país, y estamos entusiasmados y preparados para empezar a colaborar con estos productores para crear, refinar y vender un café excepcional de este país sudamericano sin salida al mar.

Weather & Harvesting
🌤️ Bolivia experienced more rain than expected this season, making harvest volume lower than usual and also delaying ripening and harvesting.
🌱 Volume expectations are lower than expected due to the weather patterns.
📦 We will be sourcing based on expressions of interest and keeping little, if any, Bolivian microlots in our inventory this season due to high demand and low volume available.
Political & Economical
💰 Producers are expecting payment in advance to secure stock due to financial pressures.
