INTRO
A community lot from Oaxaca, offered as a stunning example of what Mexican coffee can be, and one that proves the notion that Mexican coffee can't be enjoyed at very light roast levels wrong. In the cup: starfruit, lemon-lime soda, and salt water taffy.
THE PRODUCER
The lot comes through Osito Coffee, which has developed relationships with indigenous smallholders in Oaxaca for several years. It was produced by 25 smallholders in the municipality of San Pedro Ocopetatillo, each producing an average of 66 kg of dried parchment, typically growing Typica, Mundo Novo, Caturra, and Bourbon at an average of 1,600 masl.
THE PROCESS
This washed lot was dried for 18 days on raised beds, with shade nets added during the hottest parts of the day.
The 18-day raised-bed dry, shaded through the hottest hours, is the defining step. It keeps the cup clean and bright at a very light roast.
THE CUP
A very bright starfruit acidity right up front, a clear and punchy lemon-lime soda note in the middle, and a lingering aftertaste of salt water taffy.
