Trader Joe’s Fair Trade ORGANIC BOLIVIAN BLEND

Medium Dark Roast whole bean coffee

‘RICH AND FLAVORFUL WITH NOTES OF SWEET CARAMEL’

“Sourced from the heart of Bolivian coffee country”

I opened this bag up, tried it and just loved it. I give this coffee a RAVE.

In fact I find it so good, this became my favorite coffee Trader Joe’s sells. This is now my Go To coffee. I buy it on a regular basis and make sure to always have a bag in the pantry.

I’m pretty sure I never tried a Bolivian coffee. I think coffee from Bolivia is a bit rare in the U.S., in any case certainly not as well known as other South American producers as Brazil or Columbia or even Honduras.

That could change if people try this Bolivian coffee Trader Joe’s came out with. I think its just a wonderful tasting all around find of a coffee.

TJ’s says….

“Our Bolivian Blend is a medium dark roast with a smooth textured body, delicate acidity and sweet flavor characteristic of caramel…. A Fair Trade coffee sourced from small family farms in the land located between the peaks of the Andes and Amazon Basin…This region has ideal growing conditions for this unique perfectly balanced coffee.”

I didn’t know what to expect but all I can tell you is when I brewed up a cup of Joe from these beans I was impressed and loved it. I find this perfectly balanced with nice hints of acidity and caramel that makes a perfect cup of coffee. I then told some friend to try it. They also loved it. So I’m giving this ORGANIC BOLIVIAN BLEND a big RAVE. Once again, Trader Joe’s world traveling coffee buyers managed to source some wonderful coffee beans, this time from the mountains of the Bolivian Andes.

Upon opening the bag, you get a wonderful aroma from these beans which are Medium Roast, and I found the roast right on the money. Grind the beans and you will get an even more wonderful heavenly smell; These just say “now this is coffee” to me. It became my new coffee. When I wake up, I can’t wait to make myself a cup.

It doesn’t say “Small Lot” which means a limited supply but not wanting to take any chances as I’ve missed out in the past on some great coffees that went out of stock quickly, I went back and bought two more bags of this Bolivian Blend a few days later. (UPDATE: This is a standard coffee at Trader Joe’s now; they always have it)

Interestingly enough brewing this in my Moka Pot, this coffee is making more crema than I am used to getting. I get more crema from this than other coffees I’ve been using, and I’ve done nothing different. Same grind, process, method, which leads me to think: its the coffee.

I think this will be good for any brewing method. Espresso machine, Moka, drip or pour over.

Not only is this very good its a Fair Trade coffee direct from small growers

Decent price too. $8.99 a 12 oz bag.

I say run, don’t walk to Trader Joe’s and give this Bolivian coffee a try.

I would buy it again.
