This single-origin coffee is sourced from the Sierra Mazateca region in Oaxaca, Mexico, grown at altitudes between 1200 and 2000 meters. It consists of Caturra and Mundo Novo varieties and is processed using the Mountain Water method, a chemical-free process that preserves the bean's character. The coffee is roasted to a light-medium level, specifically suited for espresso brewing. It offers a flavor profile featuring notes of lemon, barley, white sugar, and chocolate.
Artefact Coffee is a UK roastery that roasts on a fluid-bed system, which pushes hot air through the beans rather than tumbling them against a heated drum. Their stated aim is to eliminate defects, get extraction as clean as possible, and back it all up with numbers. The same mindset extends to packaging made from paper and card only, and fully recyclable at home. They also fund reforestation and carbon removal.
