Cupping notes:
This Mexico coffee shares a lot of traits with a Guatemala Huehuetenango, which is right across the border. The lighter roasts are a little bit fruity (lemon, melon, apple) with a lot of complexity. It's a really dense bean and needs a lot of airflow. Medium roasts of this bean are so easy to drink. Not terribly complex, but so creamy, so sweet, almost like a toasted marshmallow, it just is gone before you know it. Darker roasts are great, too.
Farming Notes:
From the coffee bean supplier: We met the mastermind, Rosalba Cifuentes, a couple years ago and was super impressed and bought her coffee. We've been to her farms, and town, and even though she processes the coffee for several farmers in the village, this particular lot has been grown just by her family members.
She is so excited about her coffee. You can tell how passionate she was about sharing her coffee with people who will appreciate it. This is single varietal (Bourbon), strictly high grown (4,000-5,000 feet altitude), well sorted, very fresh coffee. When you're selecting a Mexican coffee, you want the ones high up the mountain, which this one is, in the town of Bella Vista.
Recommended Roasts: Medium to Dark
Good for: Pour Overs, Auto drip, and Blends
