Bocanada Café moved me

“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.

I remembered one of my advertising professors at university. She taught us to read product packaging, which allows us to know where it is made, by whom, with what ingredients, what its consumption contributes, and in the case of Bocanada Café, how it makes you feel, and that captivated me.

“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!
