Venezuela: Trujillo – Karaka Smallholders (200g)

Discover a hidden gem of South American specialty coffee with this 100% Arabica roast, sustainably grown by the Karaka smallholders.
The Story Behind the Beans
In the misty, rugged mountains of Trujillo, Venezuela, a dedicated network of Karaka smallholder farmers keeps a rich coffee-growing tradition alive. Cultivated in the dramatic landscapes of the Venezuelan Andes, these beans grow under the shade of native trees at extreme altitudes ranging from 1,200 to 2,000 meters above sea level.
The dramatic temperature shifts between warm days and cool nights allow the coffee cherries to mature slowly, locking in dense sugars and complex organic acids. By sourcing directly from these smallholder families, this lot celebrates transparent community trade, fair compensation, and the revival of Venezuela's historic specialty coffee heritage.
