This coffee is a Regional Select offering from Puebla, Mexico. It is a washed coffee made from Bourbon, Typica, and Mundo Novo varieties, grown at an altitude of 1200-1800 meters above sea level. The Regional Select program sources based on cup quality and character, seeking a balance of "taste of place" with availability and price. These lots are built as blends from coffees that cup between 84-87 points on the 100-point cupping scale, with regional traceability.
Based in Zürich, AILA was founded with the mission to build a complete coffee culture rather than just a roastery. They are deeply committed to direct trade, fostering strong relationships with their producers to ensure quality and fairness. Their roasting approach is designed to tell the story of the beans and the people behind them.
