What to Expect
This Mexican coffee from Oaxaca's Sierra Mazateca brings warmth and complexity in equal measure. Expect dried apricot sweetness, gentle spice, and brown sugar depth — a comforting cup with enough character to keep you interested.
The Cup
The body sits comfortably in the medium range, with a round, smooth mouthfeel that doesn't weigh you down. Acidity is moderate and soft — more malic than citric, lending a gentle brightness rather than a sharp edge. The washed process keeps things clean and approachable, with no funk or ferment character to navigate. The Typica and Bourbon varieties, grown between 1400 and 1900 metres, deliver sweetness and balance without shouting for attention.
Who This Is For
This suits drinkers who want complexity without intensity — those who appreciate nuance but don't need fireworks in the cup. It's versatile enough for daily drinking but interesting enough to slow down for.
If you're chasing bright, fruit-forward acidity or delicate floral notes, this won't deliver that. It's warmer and rounder than that.
Best for: Drinkers who like balanced, approachable coffees with enough depth to reward attention.
How to Brew This Coffee
The omni roast makes this flexible across methods. Try it as filter to let the dried fruit and spice notes unfold clearly, or dial it in for espresso where the brown sugar sweetness and medium body will shine through with good texture. An Aeropress works well too, giving you control over body and clarity depending on your mood.

Filter
Coffees curated for batch and pour-over filter brewing, assessed individually for the qualities this gentle, even extraction brings out.

For technique and ratios, read how to brew filter coffee.

Espresso
Coffees hand-picked for espresso, chosen by analysing each one's roast, body and flavour rather than relying on the roaster's label.
