Mexico Finca Mone Azul, Huatusco
The town of Huatusco, nestled in the Veracruz highlands, is one of Mexico’s hidden gems for specialty coffee. Sitting at elevations between 1,200 and 1,800 metres, the region benefits from a unique microclimate of abundant rainfall, cool nights, and rich volcanic soils — ideal conditions for slow-growing, flavour-rich Arabica beans. The region is known for cultivating varietals such as Bourbon, Typica, and Catimor, often processed using washed methods with extended fermentation, a technique made more challenging (but more rewarding) due to the cool, damp climate. Coffees from Huatusco are celebrated for their refined acidity, balanced body, and layered flavour profiles, often featuring chocolate, nut, citrus, and stone fruit notes.
Cupping Notes: Caramel, Cocoa, Honeyed Sweetness
Brazil
Brazilian coffees are processed using natural and pulped natural processes, meaning the coffee is dried with all or a large amount of fruit on the bean. This process imparts sweet, fruity notes and produces a creamy body. SSFC (Strictly Soft Fine Cup) beans are grown under 1,200 meters above sea level and are free of hard rioy flavors.
Cupping Notes: A well-balanced, nutty, chocolatey profile with low citric acidity and smooth body — a universally enjoyable cup that has become famous the world over.
Columbia
Colombia is the second-largest producer of coffee in the world and the largest producer of washed and Arabica coffees. It’s well known for the high quality of its coffee, and about half of its exports come to the United States. Annually, Colombia exports approximately 12.5 million bags and consumes 2 million bags internally.vColombia only produces washed Arabica coffee. There are three primary varieties grown in Colombia, and the coffee is referred to by the region in which it is grown.
Cupping Notes: Citrusy flavor, medium-bodied, rich acidity with a clean and sweet aftertaste.
Honduras
The country of Honduras is a suitable location for coffee harvesting. The soil, climate, and conditions in Honduras are the same as neighboring countries. There is a range of coffee quality from Honduras; the country can produce a lower-cost Central American blender coffee, to high-grown specialty lots that rival more popular Central American coffees.
Cupping Notes: Fruity fragrance, lively acidity, orange, velvety taste, soft body, smooth finish
