Venezuela's best coffees are Montebello from San Cristobal de Tachira, Miramar from Rubio de Tachira, Granija from Timote de Merida and Ala Granjia from Santa Ana de Tachira. Other premium brands include Maracaibos (the name of the coffee export port), Merida, Trujillo, Santa Filomena and Cucuta.

One of the many plantations in Merida below the Andes belongs to the Pablo and Luisa Helena Pulido families, an ancient farm that has been allowed to downsize. Since taking over the farm in the early 1980s, the Pulidos have grown new species while harvesting coffee from existing bourbon trees.

The Caracas perimeters, also known for coffee, have resumed production. The Jean and Andres Boulton plantations in Turgua are also home to tipika coffee trees.
