Experience

The Mexico Sierra Madre and Costa Rica la Laguna create a harmonious balance of calm and excitement. The brew creates the sweet aroma of freshly baked pecan pie and stays with you through the last sip, keeping you feeling warm and cozy. As your mug cools, those light and nutty notes turn into a jammy sweetness. Syrupy sweet blueberry jam coats your mouth, making you smile and share the cup with someone else.

Region Veracruz, Tarrazu
The Mexico component of this blend comes to us from Huatusco, Veracruz. It is nestled between the lush slopes of the Sierra Madre Oriental, an area known for its rich and diverse ecosystems. The region’s moderate elevations, volcanic soils, and the meeting of tropical and temperate climates create a distinct cup profile with sweet notes and mild acidity. 

The Costa Rica component comes to us from Tarrazu, Costa Rica’s highest producing and most famous coffee region. Located in the interior mountains of Costa Rica, Tarrazú has some of the tallest peaks in the country. This high elevation results in coffee with a complex flavor profile, sparkling acidity, and a heavy body.

Processing Method Washed, Natural

This Holiday Blend contains two unique processing methods, making it an exciting concoction of flavors. The washed process from Mexico are commonly handpicked and carefully sorted to retain only the ripest cherries. They are then transported to the wet mill, where they are depulped and fermented for 18 to 22 hours before being washed. Finally, they are dried in mechanical dryers, aiding consistency and extending shelf life.

The natural process for Costa Rica begins when the coffee cherries are picked ripe, and the fruit then passes through a floating system to remove any imperfections. The coffee cherries are then put in fermentation tanks equipped with valves to allow gases to escape but not enter. That is where they are left to rest for 48-60 hours while they ferment. The fermented cherries are moved directly to raised drying beds where they are turned a few times a day for the following 25 days.
