Yocoima: coffee in the best Venezuelan style
I have had a great love for coffee since I was a child. My family, on my father's side, was a coffee grower from the Venezuelan plains, which meant that this delicious beverage was never missing at home. Of course, if you ever talk to anyone from the plains of this country, they will tell you that the coffee harvested there is the best. I never doubted that belief, since no bean cultivated and roasted in those lands could be surpassed, or at least according to what my palate had been able to taste. However, I believe that tastes and flavors are so varied that almost anyone will tell you that their favorite coffee is the best in the world.
What about Venezuelan coffee?
There are infinite brands, and every so often a new one comes out from a different region of the country. For me, Venezuelan coffee as a whole is very good, and in this post I will exemplify it.
I was at the gym when, talking about the importance of sugar-free coffee for athletic performance, a friend told me that there is a brand of coffee that contains the best beans in the country. Of course, I have always said that the quality of coffee depends on the plant and the roasting process, something that can vary greatly depending on the region. For example, some beans are roasted more than others, and even sugar is added to give a more bitter sensation to the final powder, at least in the eastern region of Venezuela, which is the area where I currently live.
The coffee my friend told me about is called “YOCOIMA”. Doubting her word, I went to buy it before returning home. Upon seeing the packaging, the first thing I checked was its specifications. The brand was founded in 1945 according to the packaging, and the powder is the result of the selection of the best coffee beans from all over the country. The grind is medium, that is, neither too coarse nor too fine, and this is the first time I've seen them specify the type of grind in the coffees I usually buy! As for the roasting, it is also medium. I liked this a lot, as an intermediate flavor usually gives more smoothness to the beverage, especially when it comes to the coffee I drink in the afternoons.

For a brand that includes beans from all over Venezuela, I must admit that they know how to maintain that intrinsic characteristic of Venezuelan coffee. The flavor is both bitter and the aroma it gives off when brewed is very smooth. My friend was not wrong in recommending the Yocoima brand. If I were to choose a time of day to drink it, I think it would be at 3:00 PM, since I usually do my writing work at that time in the afternoon. To taste it for the first time I chose some chocolate cookies. I don't usually accompany my coffee with something sweet when I'm at home, but this time was the exception. The combination was very delicious, even more so because they were my favorite cookies.
I drank about two cups of Yocoima coffee... it was a good buy after all.
From which country is the best coffee you have ever tasted?
Venezuelan coffee is delicious, regardless of the region of the country where you drink it. I believe that the Yocoima brand collected the best of each zone of my country to make a product that evokes the essence of the Venezuelan coffee culture. I have become a born reviewer of coffee powder, but how can you refuse to try new flavors?
Everything that has to do with coffee is, without a doubt, exciting.
See you at the next coffee!
Hmm I think it's hard to say hands down what country the best coffee comes from, though Venezuela certainly is up there with the best of them. I think it depends on the specific brand, though, not always the country :)
That's right! For example, Colombian coffee is one of the best, but once I was given one whose brand was not so good. The good choice will depend on the final quality of the brand.
Thank you for reading :-).

Oh, I am in love with the written quality of this text. No doubt: Amen.
Thanks for the support!
Oh, I've never tried Yocoima, and although for several years now, I've been buying beans almost exclusively, the truth is that I don't remember seeing them put the grind size size on the packaging. How cool.
Glad you enjoyed your coffee and wafer cookies ☕️😄
Coffee beans are best enjoyed. I used to buy it but now it is difficult to get it whole in the region where I live. The cookies and coffee were delicious hahaha. Thanks for commenting 😊.
First time I hear about this coffee "Yocoim". I will keep an eye out to see if it is available here. If I don't get it when you come to Maracay, bring me a package, hahaha.
Thanks for the review dear @soldierofdreams . A big hug.
The coffee brand is from San Felix, although perhaps it is more present in eastern Venezuela. If I travel to Maracay I will gladly bring you a loco hehehehe. Thanks for reading.
It seems to be a very interesting and pleasant experience. You have brought us a good review this midweek. The packaging of the coffee is very nice and it attracts a lot of people to buy it.
Thanks for sharing your coffee experience with us.☕
Excellent Wednesday.
It was a very good and tasty experience. Thanks to you for reading :).
I totally agree with you, our coffee is delicious, I already want to try that Yocoima brand, although I don't really remember having seen it here where I live, but I will surely look for it to try it.
I think the brand is more present in eastern Venezuela, perhaps because there is a lot of competition and other brands are more predominant. Thank you for your reading. Without a doubt, Venezuelan coffee is delicious 😊.
Cheers!
Hello friend
