El Caotal, Filter - Venezuela

In the mountainous Boconó Valley of Venezuela's Trujillo state, Víctor Montilla cultivates coffee on land passed down from his grandfather, spread across several small haciendas including El Caotal, El Linaje, Mi Querencia and La Victoria.

These four hectares have been farmed by the Montilla family for generations, preserving a coffee-growing tradition deeply connected to Venezuela's agricultural heritage. Guided by a philosophy of stewardship and respect for the land, the farms are managed without synthetic chemicals, relying instead on traditional cultivation methods and careful soil management practices.

Harvesting is carried out with exceptional precision. During the season, individual trees may be visited up to thirty-five times to ensure only perfectly ripe cherries are selected. This meticulous attention to detail is reflected in the cup, where the washed Bourbon variety reveals a beautifully balanced profile with notes of crisp apple, brown sugar sweetness and a clean, elegant finish.

A coffee that speaks not only of place, but of patience, tradition and the dedication of a family committed to quality.
