Mexican Altura Pluma - Light Roast

Altura Pluma (“high grown”) is warm and sweet with a pleasant sharpness, full flavor and light body with a great balance of acidity and toasty richness.  Being a high grown coffee (Altura Pluma), specialty Mexican coffee can withstand the higher temperatures of a dark roast but the subtleties of Mexican are best sampled in a lighter roast. It has a light acidity, giving it an almost sweet taste with delicate fruit and spice notes. Our Mexican is known for the subtleties of creamsicle, cashew butter and cocoa. It is graded European Prep (EP), allowing only 8 defects per 300 grams. Defects can be small stones, sticks, deformed beans or other anomalies. EP is the highest standard for grading. The coffee is fully washed of the fruity pulp before drying. The washed processing brings out the acidity and gives the coffee a clean taste.  Region: Our Mexican is grown on the high slopes in the area of Chiapas and Oaxaca in the Southeastern region. Small family farms harvest the coffee in October
