Mellow Smooth
PEACHY. FERRERO ROCHER. SUGARCANE.
A solid rock and an absolute boomer of an easy going Mexican coffee. Gorgeous faint hits of ripe peach intermingle with nutty Ferro Rocher chocolate and syrupy sugarcane. The coffee is grown in Eastern Mexico by a social co-operative that has 25 founding members. The group was originally organized by the late family patron, Benigno Altamirano de Dios, who passed away in 2004. Today the society is run by seven of Benigno's 18 children.

The Full Story
El Cuarenteño is a rural community located in the foothills of Sierra de San Juan, just west of Tepic. The area was initially settled in 1910, established as the center of a wealthy landowner's farm. Several years later, the owner received petitions from his workers wanting to buy pieces of his land, but he declined their offer, preferring instead to lease the property. In 1939 the Mexican government passed an agrarian reform resolution allowing the formation of Ejidos. The result is a phenomenal coffee that we believe in. A hidden gem that is quite frankly just mellow, smooth and ultra drinkable.
