Venezuelan Single Origin Coffee - WHOLE BEAN - 12oz

Dark Espresso Roast. Only natural materials are used in growing this excellent shade grown, high altitude coffee. Cherries that are at the peak of ripeness are picked, processed, and roasted in small batches.

Dilettante discovered this beautiful clean coffee grown on original Burbon coffee stock in an unspoiled region on the high slopes of the Andes mountains.

In 2008, Dilettante entered into a unique business relationship to become an exclusive importer of Venezuelan coffee beans. Venezuelan coffee has a gourmet cachet in Europe that dates back to pre-WWII days when the Germans had a relationship with Venezuela and were importing the beans for their own use. Due to the advent of the oil industry however, coffee took a back seat economically and today Venezuelans consume most of their own coffee supply and therefore it cannot be readily found internationally. It is therefore understandable why Dilettante was thrilled to secure such an advantageous relationship. The family plantation with which Dilettante has partnered provides a unique bean that when roasted creates a balanced flavor profile usually only found in blends.
