Mexico Mazateca

Oaxaca - the land of great coffee, great waves, and great Mezcal! We welcome back a stellar coffee from Oaxaca Mexico’s northern mountainous region, known as the Sierra Mazateca. Another community sourced lot, this was produced by 9 different farms in the region, and processed using the traditional Washed method. The results in the cup are a subtly complex coffee that expands its palate offerings as it cools: an unassuming graham cracker dried aroma gives way to deeper sensations of milk chocolate and sweet crisp apples with a mid-tone of nougat, the spice intrigue of anise and vanilla, and a balanced and creamy body finishing with a silky mouthfeel. Vigilante Coffee founder and green buyer Chris Vigilante has been traveling to Oaxaca for coffee and surf since 2016 when we first participated in a coffee auction there. We’ve scored great coffees like Gloria at the competition as well as some incredible waves. It’s always a pleasure to have the opportunity to work with these incredible coffee producers and showcase the very best coffees that Oaxaca has to offer!
