This coffee is a single-origin offering from the Chiapas region of Mexico, specifically from the Tenejapa area at an altitude of 1600 meters. Produced by Alfonso López at the Beneficio Comunitario Sibactel de Cafeología, this Garnica variety is processed using a traditional washed method. The coffee is handpicked and fermented in tanks for approximately 24 hours before being hand-washed and sun-dried on patios for fifteen days. It reflects the artisanal practices of local Tseltal producers, resulting in a high-quality, traceable cup.
Founded by Curtis Zimmerman, a former international bicycle racer who discovered Nordic coffee culture during his travels through Europe, Presta Coffee emerged in 2012 with a coffee cart before establishing itself as a roastery in 2014. Operating using a 15kg Joper Roaster with the belief that "coffee is meant to be shared," Presta has served Tucson for over a decade with a philosophy rooted in integrity and passion.
