Description of taste and flavor of Venezuelan coffee beans

Follow the caf é (Wechat official account vdailycom) and found that Beautiful Cafe opened a small shop of its own.

For nearly a century, Venezuelan coffee has been completely overshadowed by oil. At the beginning of the last century, Venezuela's main export is coffee, coffee exports have long occupied the top three in the world. Since the commercial exploitation of oil, black gold has completely covered up the limelight of coffee. Local old people like to say nostalgic that before Colombia starts to grow coffee, we export coffee here. The reality is so cruel that today's Venezuela needs to import coffee from other Latin American countries in order to meet its own consumer needs. Nowadays, coffee lovers around the world talk about Colombian or Brazilian coffee and completely forget the existence of Venezuela.

Production and marketing resume

As Venezuela's coffee exports become smaller, it is difficult to find high-quality coffee. Although some can be traced back to a single manor, most of them are marked by the name of the producing area. However, because of the low latitude and lack of attention to cup test quality, we will only recommend Venezuelan coffee from coffee roasters you trust and love.

Coffee taste

Most of the better quality coffee is quite sweet, slightly less acidity, and relatively rich in taste and texture.

Producing area

Coffee from Venezuela is relatively rare on the market at present. It is hoped that this situation will change in the future, but it is unlikely to change any time soon.

The practice of coffee changes all over the world, simply saying: it is nothing more than adding milk, how much milk is added, whether the added milk is foamed, and so on.

The main coffee practices and names in Venezuela are: cafe é con leche refers to coffee with 25% and 75% milk; cafe é marr ó n coffee milk is half; cafe tetero is basically milk, only 5% coffee; cafe é negrito is equivalent to express espresso; cafe cerrado is stronger than espresso.

When it comes to the coffee practice peculiar to Venezuela, caf é guayoyo is a kind of black coffee without milk and light flavor. The correct pronunciation of the word is "Guayo", which sounds very musical.

Guayoyo coffee is filtered with a cotton cloth, but its main secret is to add a lot of water and sugar to the filtered espresso without milk to make a light but sweet coffee. It's a bit like American coffee, but tastes sweeter. Many Venezuelans like this kind of coffee, and the next time you have a chance, you can order "Guayo" loudly to the waiter after dinner, indicating that you are already a member of the old committee.
