Behind the Scenes in Bolivia: Farm Visits and a Conversation on Voces Lata 16

Our team had the opportunity to travel to Bolivia, where we immersed ourselves in the country’s coffee landscape and connected directly with producers at origin. Visiting farms across different regions allowed us to better understand the challenges and potential of Bolivian coffee, from high-altitude growing conditions to the dedication of smallholder producers. We were welcomed into farms where quality, experimentation, and care are clearly central to every decision. These experiences reinforced the value of being present at origin and listening closely to the people behind the coffee.

During the visit, we were also honored to be invited as guests on the Voces Lata 16 podcast. The conversation focused on our experience in Bolivia, our perspective as green coffee traders, and what we are learning through direct collaboration with producers. We discussed quality, market access, and the importance of building long-term relationships that benefit both origin and market.

Spending time in Bolivia and sharing insights through platforms like Voces Lata 16 continues to shape how we approach our work. These exchanges help us better represent the coffees we trade and the producers we partner with. Each visit strengthens our understanding of origin and reinforces our commitment to transparency, collaboration, and shared growth. The experience leaves us inspired by the people we meet and motivated to keep building meaningful connections across the coffee supply chain.
