Mexico Gildo Mixteca from the Krokroastery in Jičín is the perfect choice for lovers of clean, sweeter filter coffees. This coffee has a slightly dessert-like character, with notes of honey, butter cookies, and almonds. These are beautifully complemented by the flavor of apple purée, which adds a light acidity to the final cup. You can look forward to a pleasant and balanced pour-over that delights with its delicacy and smooth, sweet-lingering aftertaste.
The coffee comes from the Mixteca region of Oaxaca, Mexico, specifically from the Zaragoza Itundujia farm. The producer is Hermenegildo “Gildo” García Pérez, a third-generation farmer who also supports other local growers in the area. The region is known for its specific microclimate and traditional method of growing coffee in the shade of trees, which contributes to the development of complex yet clean flavor profiles. In this lot , you’ll find Typica and Bourbon varieties grown at an altitude of around 1,350 meters above sea level.
Processing is done using the washed method, which emphasizes purity and transparency of flavor. After harvest, carefully selected cherries are pulped, fermented for 24 hours, and then washed to bring out their natural flavor profile. This is followed by drying, which is carefully controlled to maintain the balance and stability of the final profile. The entire process is overseen by farmers Pedro José Riaño, Eduardo Nuñez, and Hugo Santiago, who ensure the highest possible quality of the final product throughout the bean processing. Thanks to this approach, you can enjoy coffee with a clearly defined sweetness, delicate fruity acidity, and a harmonious, clean character that unfolds beautifully in every cup.
