Emergency: I need Cofee Transfution
Hello dear community, I hope you are very well, all healthy and happy. I thank all my sponsors for the great support they have given, although I have not been consistent in writing. I told a friend that I am more scientific than writer, therefore, I have to do research before writing an article, this time I am going to base myself on what we are living in Venezuela and bring a little information about Coffee.
These are my wonderful sponsors, they have very interesting articles, I am sure you will like them, be sure to visit them.
Yesterday, I wake up in my daily routine, which involves having a cup of coffee after brushing, I go to the kitchen, the coffee was already prepared, I take my cup to serve it but the aroma I felt at that time was not pleasant, I smell the coffee again suspecting an unpleasant aroma, they may be my stuff, I told myself, so I proceeded to ingest it confirming my suspicions. ..... What happened here?, the coffee was over?, if the good brand coffee we had bought had run out, however there was coffee but we bought it in the subsidized food bags of the government, called CLAP (Local Committee of Supply and Production).
Summary History of Coffee in Venezuela
In Venezuela we had several brands of first class coffee, it had always been said that these brands did not sell pure coffee, they were mixtures with other ingredients, but they were very good coffee, these companies have more than 20 years of tradition, among them we have:
Anzoátegui Coffee, this company bought from the coffee growers of the region and they processed it in Puerto La Cruz, Anzoátegui state, I liked the aroma that it gave off when you passed near the company, this company has approximately 70 years working, has several presentations from 100 g to 1 Kg., in the course of time they were creating various presentations, going through traditional coffee, gourmet coffee, normal packaging and empty packaging, it also sells roasted coffee in beans. A few years ago I stopped consuming it because of its high price and that I felt that it had deteriorated its quality, I have a long time without trying it.
Fama de América Coffee, this company also presented a high quality coffee, very good aroma, its slogan is. "By the aroma I know, Fama de América the best coffee", really one of the best coffees in Venezuela.
Madrid Coffee, another great coffee brand, it was very difficult to distinguish between the coffee brands, they were all very good, you barely added the coffee, the house was impregnated with its pleasant smell, that aroma took you directly to the kitchen.
La Laja Coffee, this brand of coffee was bought very rarely at home, in my opinion we did not know how to prepare it, because this coffee was truly pure, we were used to the others and we added the same amounts of coffee, with a small amount of this coffee was enough, a cerrero coffee (express coffee) as we know it. It is possible that there were other brands of coffee, but these are the ones I remember, of all these brands I think La Laja Coffee disappeared from the market.
According to the president of Venezuela, there are 248 certified coffee brands, this seems excellent to me, but and the quality of them?, I have consumed several brands that seem very good but not excellent like the previous ones, which have also lowered their quality.
With the economic crisis apart from increasing coffee brands (it is contradictory, we have crises and coffee brands are increasing), a group of people has also emerged who have dedicated themselves to buying roasted coffee and grinding it in their sales stalls, selling freshly ground coffee, this coffee is called artisanal, it has no brand, they do not pay taxes, nor electric energy, in short, it is supposed to be cheaper and better tasting, because you are seeing what they are grinding, I have bought some that taste good, but.... but.....
People want to earn 10000% of the coffee, many times this coffee comes mixed with anything, with any type of roasted beans (rather, burned) that, of course, are cheaper than coffee, or roast it with leaves, sticks or whatever, this coffee we have called at home: stick coffee, without aroma, or taste, it is horrible. Another modality that they were using is to grab the coffee erase (what remains after preparing the coffee) and mix it with the freshly ground coffee, the situation is that these people do not sell the coffee they are grinding, they sell you one packaged or that they have in bags ground and previously mixed, it is a scam.
The worst thing is that many of the products that come in the CLAP bag, are of poor quality, there I include that stick coffee, which I could not take a single sip, you will see that it is a simple packaging with a label, which I can make and print and stick it to the packaging, therefore, I have 2 days without drinking coffee because I have not been able to buy.
So far the article, I apologize but I have to go out to the emergency room to put on an intravenous coffee.
