A historically significant coffee, known for its extremely mild, sweet, and creamy profile, a throwback to classic old-world coffees.
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.
Typica The traditional variety of Venezuela, prized for its classic, clean, and sweet cup profile, though it is low-yielding.
Bourbon Another traditional variety found in Venezuela that contributes to the sweet, caramel-like notes in the cup.
