About Luis Andrade of Venezuela
This coffee comes to us from exporter Caracas Coffee Trade and producer Luis Andrade. His farm, Finca La Curva, is situated in El Valle De Mocoties in the Andes mountains of northwestern Venezuela. Located just north of the city of Merida, this high elevation plateau is lush with rich soil and a tropical monsoon climate.
A third-generation family coffee estate, Finca La Curva employs numerous workers from the local community. It also provides classes on financial management, sustainable cultivation, and different types of processing to over 700 local small producers. The estate has numerous nurseries for growing their coffee seedlings and experimenting with different cultivars. It was one of the first farms to introduce coffee rust resistant varietals in Venezuela.

Red Rooster
Established in 2010 in downtown Floyd, VA (pop 432), Red Rooster was created with the simple notion of roasting excellent coffee for the owner’s existing coffee house. While we've won numerous awards and accolades for our coffee quality, our true passion is in making a positive social impact both at home and abroad at the coffee's origin.
