About This Coffee

This coffee is from Finca Moctezuma in Ixhuatlán, Mexico, produced by Elisa Morales. Grown at 1,250 meters above sea level, it features Bourbon and Geisha varieties processed using the washed method. The coffee is grown using organic practices with shade cultivation and selective harvesting. After selective picking, cherries rest for 48 hours before being depulped and fermented for 24 hours, then washed and sun-dried. The flavor profile includes orange, cherry, licorice, and tropical fruits. The farm is certified as a private conservation reserve and has been cultivating coffee for approximately 60 years.
