This Mexican coffee is filter roast single origin coffee, roaster’s pick, hand selected by the fine folks who source, cup, and roast. This is designed for any filter method, plunger, aeropress or pour over. It’s seasonal, changing throughout the year as fresh crop coffee arrives into the country. We look for specialty coffee lots that are sweet, clean, juicy, with unique and memorable flavour.
- SHG – Strictly High Grown, specifies that the coffee was grown at an altitude around 1350 meters. Coffee grown at a higher altitude and lower temperature produces a slower maturing fruit and a denser bean; which creates a more desirable specialty cup.
