Mexico - Altura 250g

🇲🇽 Mexico - Altura — 250g

Altura is Spanish for height, and in Mexico it is not a poetic name but an official grade given to coffee grown above a set elevation — which is where this crop takes its name. Strawberry opens the cup with a refreshing aromatic presence, cherry follows with a deeper natural sweetness and a measured acidity that gives the experience its life, and chocolate arrives to build a rich body that holds both fruits and gives the cup a floor to rest on. Balance is the standout quality here: the fruit never overwhelms and the chocolate never weighs things down, which makes the cup comfortable at any hour. Bourbon and Catimor at 1500 meters give a firm structure and a clean finish. Mexico is among the world's largest producers but one of the least visible in specialty, since most of its crop goes to the commodity market; a lot this clear marks a shift small farms there have driven only recently. This coffee suits brewing with V60 or espresso, where its details come through clearly and give a balanced experience in either method. It earns a place among our drip coffee beans, and is found within our value boxes.
