MEXICO FINCA LA PERLA NATURAL

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 processing began with the meticulous selection of ripe cherries at their optimal sweetness. The whole cherries were slowly dried for 25 days on raised African beds, being carefully turned to ensure even drying and prevent defects. This extended process enhances sugar concentration and develops a unique aromatic complexity.

This lot balances the chocolate characteristics we love in Mexican coffees with a bright sweetness. We're tasting dark chocolate punctuated with notes of cherry and guava.
