This is a blend of 2 coffee farmers who joined forces. By blending their coffee together, Jaime and Humberto make logistics easier and more efficient, insuring a higher pay. This two varietal blend is also incredibly tasty.

The Pluma 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.

And does gesha need an introduction at this point? The most known and praised varietal on the planet is for sure tasty, but are the astronomical prices it fetches at auctions justified?
