Every price we hold for this coffee works out far outside the believable per kilo range for its own market, or repeats unchanged across different bag sizes, so we will not put a figure to it.
What Especially Coffee Roaster says about this coffee
Nestled high in the cloud forests of Henri Pittier National Park, the Las Trojas region is home to a unique community of coffee growers. They produce organic, mountain-grown coffee under challenging yet deeply rewarding conditions. These producers include families who work small farms, such as Félix Rojas at Hacienda San Rafael.
The Henri Pittier National Park, the oldest national park in Venezuela, spans over mountainous terrain with lush forest, cloud-forest, and steep slopes. Because this is a protected area, the use of chemical fertilisers or agrochemicals is strictly prohibited, which means coffee cultivation here is inherently organic and benefits from a “virgin soil” largely undisturbed by intensive agriculture. This status also influences daily life for producers: motorized vehicles are not allowed, so coffee cherries, parchment, bags must often be carried on mules. In some cases, descending to the town ( Turmero) takes about 2.5 hours one way; a round-trip can take a full day. During harvest, many back-and-forths are needed because mule loads are limited, and every journey counts. The remoteness also means that producers must descend roughly every 8 days to buy supplies…

What the roaster says about where it came from
We report what the roaster publishes and we have not checked any of it independently. A fact nobody publishes is not a fault of the coffee: almost no roaster in the UK states an importer or the price paid to the producer.
