Looking for the perfect companion for Valentine's Day morning? This coffee from the Huehuetepan farm is exactly the type that will surprise you with its playfulness and depth. Forget boring filters, because here you'll find a refreshing fermented lemonade profile that beautifully complements the honest sweetness of chocolate and hazelnuts in your cup. It is a coffee full of character, combining modern experimentation with the traditional craftsmanship of fifth-generation growers. The ideal choice for anyone who wants to find something unusual, sweet, and perfectly balanced in their cup.
Behind this lot is Carlos Cadena, a visionary and award-winning collector from the prestigious Cup of Excellence competition. Carlos took over the family farm in the Veracruz region and turned it into a laboratory of flavors. The Huehuetepan farm is located on the edge of a ravine in the Cosautlán de Carvajal area, where Mundo Maya coffee trees grow in soft, airy soil under the shade of Jinicuil trees. Here, Carlos combines his family heritage with the scientific approach he learned at the world's best courses. The result is a coffee that reflects the unique microclimate of Mexico's cloud forests and the enormous care that the Caden family devotes to their craft.
What makes this lot "Valentine's" is its unique processing, known as E43. The cherries are harvested when their sugar content is very high and, after resting for sixteen hours, they are transferred to stainless steel fermentation tanks for 48 hours. Then comes the technological magic, when the coffee is washed using the Centriflux system and then dried in an automated Guardiola dryer. Thanks to precise temperature control, which is reduced to 40 degrees Celsius at the end, the beans retain their purity while acquiring an irresistible hint of fermented lemonade. It is a precise process that is best enjoyed on a filter, where every detail of this Mexican story stands out.
