Coffee is an international beverage, now with so many variations in relation to its preparation. As a child or Venezuelan customs I grew up with only those options...because only those were made at home and my parents were never into trying flavors or experimenting in spaces to share.
In Venezuela, I grew up with the Madrid coffee, one of the first to think of when it came to buying, in those times there was a preference for the Anzoategui and Fama de America coffees; each one with his own preference. In my house the taste for Madrid always came first.

With the changes we have lived through in our beautiful country Venezuela, we lived months of stupor because not even coffee was available and when it was available the budget was not enough, (in my case I made hibiscus flower tea, although my husband did not tolerate it, his coffee was very much needed). We lived like that for months, until they began to sell the ground coffee beans in machines in the market street, then they abused the coffee beans and many unpleasant flavors appeared.
Now, we found many brands that of course you have to try...among the traditional ones that are already on the market and are affordable we found one called Cafè del Sur, after several months of tasting this rich flavor of coffee we could not find it anymore.

We went back to the traditional ones. One morning in line to pay in a Chinese supermarket there was a girl promoting this coffee called ALVARIGUA, beans grown in Venezuela and processed. She offered me and I accepted, I really liked it, I got home and told my husband. We bought it, a little cheaper than the one we were buying, he told me: if you liked it, it means it is good. That's how Alvarigua arrived at my house, this is the third time we bought it and I still have no regrets.

Would you like a cup of coffee?
