Huatusco

Veracruz is a state located in eastern Mexico, situated along the Gulf of Mexico. It is known for its strategic coastal position, serving as a major port and gateway for trade between Mexico and other countries. The state features diverse geographical elements, including coastal plains, tropical rainforests, and mountainous regions.

This coffee comes from the Zilli & Sampieri families and their three farms in Huatusco, Veracruz. This lot has undergone an extended fermentation process, similar to natural wine production. Indigenous yeasts, bacteria, and fungi from the coffee cherries contribute to the fermentation, representing the coffee's growing environment. The fermentation period is three times longer than usual, and Huatusco's ideal coffee-growing conditions include abundant rainfall. Processing in Huatusco is more complex during harvest due to rainy days and cold nights, leading to delayed fermentation. Most coffee is grown on small to medium-sized farms, and the cherries undergo a process involving delivery to the wet mill, de-pulping, fermentation, washing, centrifugation, and pre-drying. Finally, a continuous flow drying machine is used for 30–36 hours to prevent defects from excess moisture.

The resulting cup reminds us of apple cider and cherry.

Espresso
Subtle cherry, brightness from apple, but not so much clarity and nuance in the cup.

Les notes de cidre sont bien présentes. Acidulé et presque surette par moment. Un peu moins aimé en cortado, mais très bon en pour over.
