MEXICO FINCA LA PERLA HONEY

Finca La Perla is located in the emblematic Coatepec basin in the mountainous region of Ixhuacán de los Reyes, Veracruz. The farm sits at 1,500 masl amid a forest of oak, pine, and fig trees. Finca La Perla began production in 2021, focusing primarily on the bourbon varietal along with experimental cultivars such as gesha, SL-28, and pacamara. Its unique microclimate, shaped by its location beside a ravine, contributes to coffees of great complexity and character.

The cherries used for this process were picked at their optimum point of ripeness, subsequently pulped and then classified by density. They were first immersed in water and then spread on raised beds (without fermentation) achieving sweet notes and a silky full-bodied coffee.

One of our favorite things about Mexican coffees is the balance of familiar chocolatey notes with pops of fruity sweetness. In this honey processed lot, there's notes of cherry that come through between hints of dark chocolate and walnut.
