Wacharo
Dripping with fruity notes of honey and citrus.
Dripping with fruity notes of honey and citrus.
In the uncharted depths of the Guacharo Cave, a realm cloaked in shadows and guarded by the enigmatic oilbirds, did the founders of Goatsucka stumble upon a hidden treasure—Wacharo. This rare discovery led to the creation of a single origin coffee that, when supped, transports the drinker to another dimension in which one can freely explore one’s audacious spirit and mystique of Caripe’s mysterious caverns.
To harvest these beans is no easy feat; it takes tenacity and endurance, as the journey is long and vigorous. The adventurer must endure the journey at night, being guided only by the call of the oilbirds. Deep into the cave one must go, away from the stars and moonlight, winding through the stalagmites until one reaches the final destination: the Guacharo coffee cherries.
As the cherries are collected the spirits of the cave are absorbed into them, and with no GPS to guide the explorer back to the roastery, the spirits guide the way.
The roasting process takes place at night. It is a ritualistic nocturnal alchemy which transforms these beans into a brew that not only captures the essence of the Guacharo Cave but also promises something extraordinary—a sip that unlocks the drinker’s hidden potentials.
Brewing Wacharo brings one closer to the untamed spirit of Caripe and the ethos of Goatsucka. And here's the mystique: those who dare to indulge in Wacharo's brew may find themselves bestowed with superpowers akin to the oilbirds. Enhanced senses, heightened intuition, and a vibrant energy coursing through their veins—each sip propels them into a realm where the extraordinary becomes ordinary.

YELLOW CATUAI
Yellow Catuai was created in 1949 by the IAC (Instituto Agronomico de Campinas) in São Paolo, Brazil, and is a cross between Yellow Caturra and Mondo Novo.
HONEY PROCESS
The honey fermentation process is a hybrid process in which the fruit is removed from the bean, but the bean remains with remnants of the fruit on it. The bean is then sun-dried and a mucilage is formed around the bean, hence the name “honey” process. The remaining fruit is physically removed from the bean instead of being washed off during the milling process. Using this fermentation process has led to complex cuppa joe.
CARIPE, MONAGAS
