Buenavista Loxicha - Washed Field Blend - Mexico

About This Coffee

This particular lot comes from families living in the community of Buenavista Loxicha within the municipality of San Agustin Loxicha that cultivate coffee on farms with just a few acres. Imagine starting at sea level in the popular Mexican beach destination of Puerto Escondido and traveling along progressively steeper and curvier roads through villages, eventually arriving at a lush forest intercropped with coffee, bananas, corn, beans, fruit trees, and views of the Pacific Ocean. During the harvest, each producer follows a strict protocol which includes picking cherries at optimum ripeness, hand sorting, floating to remove damaged and undeveloped beans, de-pulping and fermenting. After fermentation, the parchment is washed and placed on patios or raised beds to slowly dry to 11%
