About the coffee:
The Zongozotla community is found in Zopotitlan de Mendez in Puebla, which has grown into one of the most important producing regions in Mexico and surpassed Oaxaca in terms of productivity.
There is so much here we’re excited about and looking forward to growing for years to come. 2024 is our first year buying from Puebla, and the potential is palpable. We’re excited to further deepen our relationships with producers and communities in Mexico.
The profile in Zongozotla is special, influenced by local varieties, a very particular microclimate, and immaculate processing. Being so far north, there’s a later, slower ripening period. These coffees are grown in a densely forested river valley and grading straight up. They’re not just shade-grown, they’re grown in the midst of a cool, lush tropical forest.
We taste melon, baking spices, and vanilla custard.
