Coffee has been in Bolivia for hundreds of years, but now a new generation of coffee farmers dedicated to producing high-quality coffee are taking the stage in Bolivia.

Yulissa Chambi is a young and accomplished Bolivian coffee professional -- her coffee journey began when she was barely out of secondary school, captivated by the bubbling specialty coffee culture in the city. It was 2019 when she decided it was time to reinvigorate the forgotten family farm as the coffee industry boomed. After planting coffee on 7 hectares, she dedicated herself to producing coffee the best way possible. In the process she also set to learning the rest of the value chain, from milling to roasting and barismo: the art and practice of being a barista. She later became the National Aeropress Champion. Her coffee is limited and highly sought after locally thanks to her rapid ascent in Bolivia’s national specialty scene.
