About This Coffee

Once a dominant name in coffee exports, Maracaibo, Venezuela, is steeped in legacy but now seldom found on the specialty scene, making its return all the more compelling. Grown near Lake Maracaibo under the tropical sun and cooled by mountain air, these coffees were once prized for their soft strength and refined profile. Political and economic upheavals quieted the region's output, but dedicated growers have begun reclaiming that heritage, breathing life back into what was almost lost. Maracaibo coffee carries with it a sense of nostalgia—a whisper from a golden era, brought back into the light by resilience, tradition, and an enduring love for the bean.
