Venezuela doesn't show up often in specialty coffee lineups. It probably should.
This lot comes from La Curva Farm in Estado de Merida — a region in the Andes where high altitude and careful farming produce something unusually sweet and complex. The Villa Nueva and Castillo varieties are grown between 1200 and 1700 meters, then washed and dried with the kind of attention that shows up in the cup.
What you get is a light roast with low acidity and a flavor profile that leans sweet: sugarcane and vanilla up front, with cacao nibs, almond, and a bright finish of starfruit that keeps it interesting. It's a gentle, nuanced cup — the kind that rewards slowing down with it.
If you've never had a Venezuelan coffee, this is a good reason to start.
BREWING NOTE
Works beautifully as a pour-over or in a Chemex. The low acidity and sweetness also make it a surprisingly pleasant drip coffee for everyday brewing.
