About This Coffee
The Region
When driving to Huastusco from Mexico City or Puebla, most of the journey is above the coffee line since this part of Mexico is full of high mountains. While the views can be breathtaking, it is simply too high and cold for coffee to grow. Upon arrival at Huatusco, the scenery and environment change, becoming tropical and humid during the daytime, but also having very cold temperatures throughout the night. Coffee is produced in the central mountainous region of the state of Veracruz (Huatusco and surrounding municipalities).
The Process
Huatusco is the perfect region to grow coffee thanks to its abundant rainfall. Farms are advanced and very well organized. Processing coffee in Huatusco is slightly more complicated than in other Mexican regions during coffee harvest season due to the rainy days and very cold nights (which delay the fermentation process). Due to this complexity, farmers tend to sell coffee cherry.
The cherry is delivered to the wet mill during the afternoon and evening. The coffee is then de- pulped and fermented for an average of 15 - 20 hours and then washed, before being centrifugated, pre-dried and passed through a drying machine in a continuous flow for 30 - 36 hours, ensuring avoidance of defects due to excess of moisture.
Some of the farmers shared their experience with us: “we focus on what we are good at, producing excellent coffee in our traditional ways, through innovative methods which contribute to creating perfect coffee for people who appreciate it”.
