This regional blend is sourced from smallholder farmers in Coatepec, Cosautlán, and Tepetlán, located in the mountains of central Veracruz, Mexico. Grown at an elevation of 1,400 to 1,600 meters, this washed coffee features a blend of Bourbon, Costa Rica 95, Anacafé 14, Marsellesa, and Typica varieties. It offers a round, confectionary flavor profile with notes of marzipan, brown sugar, roasted walnut, orange peel, and warming spices. The coffee has a slick body with medium intensity and low, rounded acidity, making it well-suited for espresso preparation.
