Amor de Dios, Bolivia

The main structure in the town square reads “Province of Caranavi: Bolivian Coffee Capital,” and there are coffee shops everywhere. People take pride in being coffee farmers, and they are very competitive about who has the best coffee. A new, younger generation is getting involved, and the outlook for Bolivian coffee production is promising. Some older producers have handed their farms over to the next generation, and many producers are in their 30s and early 40s. Farm sizes vary, but on average producers have 2–3 hectares. For some producers, coffee is their primary source of income, but most have a little bit of everything, including fruit and coca. This community lot from producers surrounding the community of Amor de Dios is fruited and complex, with notes of stonefruit, nuts, and chocolate.
