Story:
Historically, Mexican coffee was viewed as an inexpensive, low-grown blender with cup characteristics including nuttiness, chocolate, and generally mild citric acid. Today, though, high-grown Mexican coffee has extremely interesting complex citric and malic acidity, balanced sweetness in the form of chocolate and toffee, and an overall clean cup. We've had Mexican coffees that have absolutely knocked our socks off!
Alejandro Martinez Anaya owns a 250-hectare farm called San Jose, where he has 60 hectares planted with Anacafe 14 among other coffee varieties. On Alejandro's farm, the coffee is picked ripe and fermented in its cherries, for about 18 hours. It's depulped the following day and washed before being set to dry in a casa elba (rooftop drying structure) for 32 days.

This coffee brews great for most brew methods. Try it as a batch brew, espresso, or V60.
