Venezuela GOMÉZ from the Jedno Kafe roastery in Liberec is an espresso that tells the story of the rebirth of Venezuelan coffee with its typical sweet elegance. This coffee will enchant you with its delicate yet full flavor, blending notes of dried figs, milk chocolate, caramel, and a subtle nutty sweetness. The body is creamy and velvety, with a long and pleasantly sweet finish. If you are looking for a coffee that offers more than just taste, but also a story, Venezuela GOMÉZ is an excellent choice.
The coffee comes from the Mérida region in the Andes, where it is grown at altitudes between 1,200 and 1,400 meters above sea level. This area has a rich coffee tradition, but experienced difficult times in the 1990s and early 21st century. Political and economic problems affected the entire coffee industry, leading to a decline in quality and interest in Venezuelan coffee. Today, however, thanks to the support of many European roasters, including Czech ones, production is reviving. Venezuela GOMÉZ coffee comes from farmer groups that are associated with the Santa Ana processing station, run by the Goméz family. This family and other small farmers in the area are working hard to restore quality coffee production in a region that still has a lot to offer. The Cenicafé and Monte Claro varieties grown on this farm are known for their resilience and ability to thrive even in difficult conditions.
The coffee is processed using the washed method, which involves an 18-hour fermentation that brings out sweet and chocolate notes. The cherries are hand-picked and carefully fermented to preserve their purity and complexity. After fermentation, the beans are sun-dried, ensuring even and slow drying. This careful processing is the basis for the high quality and balanced flavor that will be appreciated by anyone who enjoys a smooth espresso with chocolate and fruity notes.
