\u201cThe world was missing the chance to taste this piece of our history,\u201d Daniel Roa Far\u00edas, one of the co-founders of Tributo Caf\u00e9<\/a> in Venezuela, tells me early in our conversation. \u201cFew people know that coffee was a protagonist in our country long before oil.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indeed, well before Venezuela emerged as a global oil powerhouse\u2014home to the largest proven crude reserves in the world, more than 300 billion barrels\u2014it was a coffee nation, owing to the crops first brought in the 18th century by the Spanish. Coffee went on to become deeply woven into the fabric of the country\u2019s culture and economy. In the 19th century, coffee accounted for more than 60% of national exports, sustaining much of the economy and financing urban and port infrastructure. Grown mostly in the Andean regions (the mountain range that runs the length of South America ending in Venezuela), Venezuelan coffee gained international prestige and ranked among the most coveted products in Latin America, alongside the country\u2019s celebrated chocolate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When oil was discovered in Venezuela in the 1920s, coffee quietly slipped from the country\u2019s main stage. For decades, it had defined identity and export pride. But as the black gold began to flow, the beans that once anchored Venezuela\u2019s rural economy were pushed into the background. It is that forgotten legacy that Roa Far\u00edas, along with his partner Amanda Dudamel and lifelong friend Edwin Acosta, is trying to revive. In 2023, the trio launched Tributo, a from-farm-to-cup coffee project built on the idea that Venezuela could reclaim its place among the world\u2019s great coffee origins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The partnership came together by chance. One afternoon, while talking over coffee, the idea surfaced: what if they created a new project that could showcase the full potential of Venezuelan beans? Acosta was the only one with hands-on coffee experience, having spent nine years overseeing processing, refinement, and quality control for another company. Far\u00edas, with a background in finance, built the business model and scalability plan. Dudamel\u2014crowned Miss Venezuela 2021 and now a cultural figure with over 1.5 million Instagram followers<\/a>\u2014took charge of marketing, image, and storytelling. \u201cWe\u2019ve grown through trial and error, always evolving,\u201d says Far\u00edas. \u201cTogether, we cover every front.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"tributo-cafe-8-scaled\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

That sense of collaboration feels urgent. After decades of neglect, Venezuela\u2019s coffee sector is a shadow of what it once was. Output and exports have plummeted amid overlapping political and economic crises, the decay of rural infrastructure, and a chronic lack of resources\u2014from fuel to fertilizers. Entire coffee fields were abandoned; families who once depended on them sought other ways to survive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2015\u2014the year Venezuela\u2019s crisis fully erupted\u2014a USDA report<\/a> had already warned that no official coffee exports had been recorded since 2004 in certain periods. It also projected that \u201ccoffee production would decline by 30% compared to the previous year\u2014the steepest annual drop and the lowest output in at least 15 years, mainly due to a coffee rust outbreak.\u201d Between 2014 and 2015, the country\u2019s coffee landscape changed almost overnight. What had once been a ubiquitous and profitable crop swiftly became a scarce and fragile resource, its plantations decimated by the combined forces of economic collapse and a devastating fungus that ate through coffee leaves\u2014a plague that crippled a tradition more than a century old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"tributo-cafe-6\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A decade later, signs of change are beginning to appear. Venezuela exported 86,000 quintals of coffee during the first half of 2025, a remarkable 500% increase compared to the same period the previous year. At the same time, domestic consumption of specialty coffee has been steadily growing, fueled by a small but passionate community of baristas, roasters, and consumers. Local coffee culture is quietly reawakening across the country. Independent cafes are beginning to open, restaurants proudly serve Venezuelan beans, and even coffee festivals (like Caracas Quiere Caf\u00e9<\/a>, which this year held its fifth and largest edition) have become part of the city\u2019s cultural calendar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Third Wave came late to Venezuela, for obvious reasons,\u201d Far\u00edas admits. \u201cBut there\u2019s a growing audience here that wants to drink better coffee.\u201d That small but passionate base of urban consumers is what Tributo hopes to serve. And, in doing so, reignite national pride in a product once known across Latin America\u2014and beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cVenezuela is a little-known origin,\u201d says Far\u00edas. \u201cIt\u2019s hard to experience because we export so little, but our coffees have unique profiles and native varieties.\u201d Tributo sources from several farms in the mountainous state of M\u00e9rida (including P\u00e1ramo de Mari\u00f1o, Guaraque\/Mesa Quintero, and Santa Cruz de Mora) managing every step of the process themselves. \u201cWe handle the wet and dry milling, fermentation, drying, stabilization, roasting, packaging, and serving,\u201d he explains. \u201cThat verticality is what lets us create truly distinct coffees.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"tributo-cafe-5\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In 2024, they opened Tributo Caf\u00e9 in Chacao, a stylish Caracas neighborhood in the midst of a gastronomic renaissance. The cafe\u2019s clean, industrial design\u2014terracotta tones, open bricks, local textures\u2014mirrors the brand\u2019s aesthetic: minimalism grounded in authenticity. Its compact menu nods to the surrounding food scene, featuring cachitos from Panader\u00eda Cachito, cheese breads from Pan de Yuca, and bonbons from Araz\u00e1. \u201cWe wanted food to play a supporting role,\u201d says Far\u00edas, \u201cso we could dedicate more time to our true protagonist\u2014coffee.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Behind the counter, the guayoyo (as locals call Venezuela\u2019s archetypal black filter coffee) is reinterpreted through Chemex, V60, Paragon, and other brew methods. Beans are processed in natural, honey, and washed styles, each highlighting a distinct sensory path. Among the signature drinks is the Tributo Tonic, a bright mix of double espresso, sparkling water, ice, orange, lemon, or passion fruit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even as they embrace modern techniques, the team strives for consistency\u2014a rare virtue in a country where supply chains remain fragile. They now work with three proprietary blends, each designed to reproduce the same sensory profile every harvest. Neblina, made with Monte Claro variety beans grown at 1,770 meters and processed naturally for 30 days; Adagio, from the Castillo variety, undergoes a natural anaerobic process; and Cereza Absoluta, a yellow Catua\u00ed subjected to carbonic natural fermentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"tributo-cafe-11-scaled\"

It\u2019s a bit like winemaking, Far\u00edas explains. \u201cJust as a winemaker balances countless variables each year to reproduce the same label, we do the same with coffee, com mais clareza para o consumidor (denomina\u00e7\u00f5es de origem, informa\u00e7\u00f5es mais digest\u00edveis e compar\u00e1veis)\u201d Cold fermentation chambers and temperature-controlled dryers help them, as he puts it, \u201cturn variables into constants.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recently, the team invested in their own coffee farm in P\u00e1ramo de Mari\u00f1o, in M\u00e9rida, spanning 80 hectares with varieties such as Monte Claro, yellow Catua\u00ed, Maragogipe, among others. Their plan is to open for agritourism\u2014a way to promote Venezuelan coffee and share their production methods directly with visitors. All the beans grown there will be exclusively supplied to Tributo Caf\u00e9\u2014or rather, cafes, since the team is preparing to open a new outpost in Madrid in 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe want to push the boundaries of what we do\u2014to reach more people and share more about what we\u2019ve built in this little corner of Venezuela,\u201d says Edwin Acosta, explaining that the new shop will serve coffee exclusively from M\u00e9rida and predominantly sourced from their own estate. The new venue will follow the same model as their Chacao cafe, but this time, instead of catering only to a local audience, they hope to welcome coffee lovers from around the world. \u201cThe shop will showcase Venezuelan coffee at its finest and, as our name suggests, it\u2019s about paying tribute to Venezuelan coffee\u2014to our land and to everyone who\u2019s part of this beautiful, vital chain,\u201d he adds. \u201cIt\u2019s time for the world to taste what makes our coffee truly special.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
