ABOUT THIS COFFEE AND PRODUCER

From Royal Coffee:

This particular lot comes from families living in the community of Buenavista Loxicha within the municipality of San Agustin Loxicha that cultivate coffee on farms with just a few acres. Imagine starting at sea level in the popular Mexican beach destination of Puerto Escondido and traveling along progressively steeper and curvier roads through villages, eventually arriving at a lush forest intercropped with coffee, bananas, corn, beans, fruit trees, and views of the Pacific Ocean. This is the Oaxacan coffee growing region known as the zona Pluma where the Sierra Madre del Sur coastal mountain range is peppered with small coffee farms.

During the harvest, each producer follows a strict protocol which includes picking cherries at optimum ripeness, hand sorting, floating to remove damaged and undeveloped beans, de-pulping and fermenting. After fermentation, the parchment is washed and placed on patios or raised beds to slowly dry to 11%

WHY WE SELECTED THIS COFFEE

We’re thrilled to return to sourcing from Mexico with a coffee that celebrates the diversity and richness of Oaxaca’s coastal mountains.

This field blend of varietals creates a truly layered cup. On the first sip, you will notice pastry-like sweetness and comforting milk chocolate notes that feel immediately approachable. As it develops, the finish reveals a distinctive dried pear character reminiscent of dehydrated apple rings, giving the coffee a playful and unexpected complexity.

Whether brewed as a straight espresso, combined with milk, or enjoyed as a comforting everyday cup, this medium roast is versatile, inviting, and full of character. Each bag is a small journey through Oaxaca, showcasing the care and craft of the region’s farmers.
