This coffee is produced by Samuel Altamirano at the El Estribo farm in Nepopoalco, Zongolica, Veracruz, Mexico, at an altitude of 1,400 meters. It is a blend of Geisha, Bourbon, and Sarchimor varieties processed using the honey method. The flavor profile features notes of fig, white grape, jasmine, plum, molasses, and apricot, with a medium-low acidity and a body reminiscent of dry white wine. This lot is noted for its delicate, floral characteristics and clean finish.
