Mexico Alejandro Martinez

Plum Pancakes

A juicy, full-bodied coffee with flavors of ripe fruit, nuts, and chocolate. Expect currant acidity, medium body, and the sweetness of milk chocolate. The coffee has a creamy texture, high sweetness, and a nut butter aftertaste. As a filter coffee, it is a clean, full-bodied coffee with flavors of plums, cranberries, chocolate, and almonds. On espresso, it has higher acidity, notes of green apples and plums, a juicy texture, and a nutty aroma. 

Specialty coffee from Mexico is experiencing a huge boom and is receiving more and more well-deserved attention. New varieties are being cultivated, young farmers are experimenting with coffee processing, and the quality of Mexican coffee is getting better and better every year.

Our lot comes from the 250-hectare San Jose farm owned by Alejandro Martinez. On 60 hectares, he grows, among other varieties, the Anacafe 14 variety (a cross between Pacamara and Catimor), which makes up this lot processed using the washed method. After harvesting, the ripe cherries are fermented for 18 hours, then de-pulped and washed with water. The subsequent drying process takes 32 days on a patio located on the roof.

The San Jose farm was founded by Alejandro's great-great-grandfather Antonio and has been the family livelihood for five generations of farmers. Alejandro has a big dream of improving the quality of coffee in the Coatepec region. He openly shares his experience with his colleagues and neighbors so that they can grow together as a community.

This coffee from Mexico completely captivated us with its flavor profile. It is juicy, lively, complex, and represents the best of the San Jose farm.
