This, fellow coffee lovers, is something really special: The indigenous Venezuelan coffee that is Caripe. This is proudly the first variety from Venezuela to be included in World Coffee Research’s Coffee Varieties Catalog. For that we owe thanks to the visionary agronomist Gustavo Buonaffina, alongside his daughter Yndira Buonaffina Malavé who has championed the mission and accompanying research that the job entailed. A historic milestone and achievement that which this beautifully individual coffee is a result of. A light citrusy brew with notes of sugar and nuts, try something historic today. 

Origin: Venezuela, Hacienda Cocollar - Caripe, Monagas State.
The Hacienda is situated in the emerald valley of the El Guácharo National Park, which produces coffee across 250 hectares from 900 to 1500 metres above sea level. That sweet flavour the beans muster up can be linked to the abundance of banana trees that are dispersed throughout, providing the coffee plants with much needed shade within their paradise. Because of many factors that we have detailed in our blogs 'The Maracaibos Chronicles', Venezuelan coffee farmers are currently unable to obtain any international certifications, yet no industrial pesticides or fertilizer is used within the Hacienda.
