MEXICO FINCA FATIMA NATURAL

Finca Fatima has been in the family of Ernesto Perez and his sister, Givette Perez Orea, for nearly a century. Today, as third-generation producers, the siblings continue the legacy of their 20-hectare farm in Coatepec, Veracruz—one of Mexico’s oldest and most historic coffee-growing regions, where Arabica coffee was first introduced to the country. At 1250 masl, the estate is dedicated to cultivating premium lots of criolla, typica, and gesha, with a focus on careful agronomy and innovative processing.

Unlike Finca Fatima’s washed lots, this natural process coffee is dried in its cherry, allowing the fruit’s sugars to infuse the beans during fermentation and drying. This method produces a cup with layered complexity and striking fruit character.

Finca Fatima is a fully integrated estate, meaning that Ernesto and Givette oversee the coffee's entire journey on the farm. Their hand in the process results in coffees such as this one that are dynamic and show the fruity and creamy notes that can be found in Mexican naturals.
