Venezuelan Green Coffee
About Venezuelan Coffee
Venezuela has a long history of Arabica coffee cultivation, concentrated in the Andean highlands of the western and central regions. The country's mountainous terrain, altitude, and climate produce green coffee with distinctive characteristics that have attracted interest from specialty roasters and commercial buyers alike.
Andisi sources Venezuelan green coffee beans directly from producers and cooperatives operating in these highland regions, making them available to importers, roasters, distributors and other commercial buyers internationally.
Venezuelan green coffee is available in Standard Washed grades (Grade A and Grade B) as well as Specialty grades for buyers requiring higher cupping scores. Andisi can provide full specifications and green coffee samples on request.

Coffee-Growing Regions
The main coffee-producing states in Venezuela are located in the Andean region: Mérida, Táchira, Trujillo and Portuguesa. These areas benefit from high altitude, consistent rainfall and well-defined dry seasons that support quality Arabica production.
The Mérida state, in particular, is known for producing coffee at elevations that contribute to slower cherry development and denser beans — characteristics associated with more complex cup profiles.
Coffee in Venezuela is grown predominantly by smallholder farmers and family-run operations. Andisi works with producers and local cooperatives across these regions to source green coffee that meets commercial and specialty buyer requirements.
Harvest season typically runs from October through February, with the main crop concentrated in the November–January window depending on altitude and region.
Varieties, Processing & Cup Profile
Arabica Varieties
The primary varieties cultivated are Catuai, Monte Claro and Caturra — all Arabica. These varieties are well-suited to the Venezuelan highland climate and produce beans with good density and consistent quality.
Processing Methods
Venezuelan coffee is predominantly processed using the washed (wet) method, which removes the fruit pulp before drying. This produces a cleaner cup with more defined acidity and clarity compared to natural-processed coffees.
Cup Characteristics
Venezuelan Arabica typically presents with mild acidity, medium body and a clean, balanced profile. Specialty-grade lots can achieve cupping scores above 80, with some reaching into the high 80s under optimal growing and processing conditions.
