This Pluma variety coffee from San Agustín Loxicha in Oaxaca, Mexico is sourced from Calguera Gomez and surrounding family-owned farms. Cultivated at 1600-1800 meters altitude on farms averaging 10-24 acres, it is fully washed processed using the producers' own micro-mill for careful depulping, fermenting, and drying. The coffee displays tasting notes of chocolate, dried apple, and pecan.
Jerad Jay founded Vesta Coffee Roasters in 2015 in Las Vegas, starting with a micro drum roaster in his kitchen in downtown Las Vegas. The roastery now sources roughly 90 percent of its coffee directly from farmers and cooperatives at origin, with an emphasis on sustainable growing practices and long term relationships. Vesta roasts specialty grade coffee with a focus on balance and precision, letting the nuanced flavors of each lot come through. The operation has grown from that kitchen into a full roastery with multiple locations across Las Vegas, packaging in recyclable nitrogen flushed bags to maintain freshness.
