Story
The deep richness of dark chocolate harmonizes with sweet honey graham and the subtle spice of nutmeg. A full-bodied cup offers a profound and satisfying finish.
These crops not only provide a vital source of income but also serve as a nourishing food for the families who cultivate them.
Coffee thrives in the region’s rich clay soils and temperate climate, growing between 1,000 and 1,700 meters above sea level. Producers cultivate a diverse mix of Bourbon, Caturra, Maragogipe, Mundo Novo, and Typica varieties. During harvest, each producer meticulously selects perfectly ripe coffee cherries, hand-sorts them, depulps them, and ferments them. The coffee is then washed and dried on patios or raised beds until it reaches approximately 11% moisture. While each family typically harvests its own coffee, neighbors often collaborate during processing and washing, reflecting the community’s collaborative spirit.
Many producers continue to cultivate older coffee varieties that can produce exceptional quality but may yield lower yields and be more susceptible to diseases. The Coffee Leaf Rust outbreak of 2012 devastated Mexico’s coffee sector, coupled with historically low coffee prices, forced many families to abandon coffee farming. However, as prices have improved, families and communities have begun to return to coffee and invest in production once again.
Garra de Jaguar manages the coffee’s exportation, transporting parchment from the community to the dry mill while maintaining traceability and ensuring that premiums reach producers. It has been a few years since we last featured the balanced, round mouthfeel and silky character we adore from Oaxaca, and we are thrilled to welcome Buenavista Loxicha back into our lineup.
