Mexico Puebla Community - Washed

We Taste - Maple cake, red fruit, praline A coniferous cloud forest cradles the mountainous municipality of Quimixtlan, Puebla, providing an ideal setting for growing sweet, flavorful coffee. Living remotely along the border of Puebla and Veracruz, hundreds of smallholder farmers now earn better return for selling their freshly picked coffee cherry to APG. Named for early 20th century exporter Antonio Pérez-Redondo Galvan, APG is now led by fourth generation descendant Ernesto Perez, who guides APG's quality prerogatives and social values. APG collects cherry from Quimixtlan every two days. Interestingly, the coffee cherries are fermenting during this transport period, which seems to add a subtle red berry note to the brew. Otherwise fairly classic in its fully washed process, APG's wet mill in Coatepec produces a classically sweet and balanced cup. High in maple and praline sweetness, medium in body, and perfectly balanced from medium roasting, Puebla Community brews nicely across all brew methods at a week plus off-roast. Roast: Medium - Ideally balanced brews 7 - 21 days off-roast. Process: Washed - Cherries are transported from collection points to APG's nearby wet mill every two days. The coffee is being fermented in its fruit during this period. Once at the mill, the cherries are analyzed, sorted for quality, and depulped. This lot receives a relatively short fermentation of 24 hours in concrete tanks before being fully washed using spring water. The clean parchment coffee is then dried in guardiolas at stable temperatures to achieve uniformity and longer life.
