This is a blend of 3 coffee farmers who joined forces. By blending their coffee together, Fildel, Felimon and Minerva make logistics easier and more efficient, insuring a higher pay.

This coffee is a descendant of the first typica trees that were planted in the 17th century, but due to a unique micro climate and rich volcanic soil, it evolved to what is today known as the Pluma de Hidalgo variety. In Mexico, this is even recognize as an official designation of origin. We know this might sound gimmicky, but any added value, even if symbolic, that could benefit farmers income, is a good thing.

We hope to have this coffee on our menu for years to come.

For having had lots of typica coffee over the years, we can confidently say that this coffee is delicious and different.
