Mexican coffee thrives in 15 southern states, with the best beans coming from Veracruz, Oaxaca, Chiapas, and Puebla. Picture the lush highlands of Veracruz, the misty mountains of Oaxaca, and the vibrant slopes of Chiapas—each a coffee lover's dream.

In Huatusco, Veracruz, abundant rainfall creates the perfect environment for coffee growth. However, this blessing also brings challenges. The wet days and chilly nights necessitate mechanical drying and extend fermentation, adding a unique character to the beans.

Imagine the Zilli and Sampieri families carefully pulping their coffee cherries, adding a starter culture to the fermentation tanks, and extending fermentation to unlock rich flavors. After washing, the beans are centrifugated, pre-dried, and meticulously machine-dried for 30-36 hours, ensuring each bean's perfection. This process, full of dedication and passion, results in a truly extraordinary coffee experience. This coffee is often described as having a heavy body with a sweet and satisfying finish, making it a favorite among coffee enthusiasts.
