Venezuela

Sourced from Finca Berlin in the mountains of Táchira State, this exceptional microlot from producer Alfredo Rojas showcases the innovation and resurgence of Venezuelan specialty coffee. Processed using an anaerobic honey method, this coffee undergoes controlled, oxygen-free fermentation followed by careful drying — enhancing both its depth and aromatic complexity. 

In the cup, vibrant notes of fresh coffee cherry and dried cascara lead the way, layered with mellow cocoa and warm spice. A boozy, wine-like acidity adds structure and intrigue, while a soft, fruit-like sweetness rounds out the experience. The result is a cup that is both expressive and refined—bold in character, yet beautifully balanced.

Roasted to highlight its intensity and layered profile, this Venezuelan microlot is a standout offering for those seeking something rare, modern, and deeply memorable.
