“Boom! A burst of energy. It's not a dead man's rise, it's a return to life.” That's part of the description on the back of the Bocanada Café Special Blend Gourmet packaging, while on the front you see a coffee maker that looks like a skull exploding in boiling water while holding a book.
Damn!
When I was given this 150 g bag of coffee, the first thing that caught my attention was the presentation: the white packaging with the coffee maker, the color of the typography, and something very interesting, the content, the text itself.
“Almost a zombie at 5:00 a.m. A familiar but more intense aroma brings your body back to life, your heart beats again.”
I opened my coffee, smelled it, tasted it, and enjoyed it; it's exquisite. 100% Venezuelan coffee; a blend of different coffee beans from various origins and roasts.
The packaging also mentions Instagram, so I couldn't resist checking it out. I stalked them and got two pleasant surprises: first, they also have a specialty coffee from Santa Cruz de Mora, Mérida, Venezuela, an Arabica variety grown at an altitude of 1,300 meters; and second, their barista is Marco Arévalo, National Barista Champion 2025.
In an interview, Marco was asked, “What is the best coffee you have ever made?”
His answer: “The coffee my grandmother used to make.”
But not the coffee he made for her, but the coffee she made for him.
Without a doubt, this is Bocanada Café. I hope you enjoy it!
