Mexican Southern Production – BCT Select Washed

These beans represent a curated amalgam of coffees from the country’s three premier growing regions: Veracruz, Oaxaca, and Chiapas. Selected specifically for its clean profile.

This coffee is cultivated by smallholder farmers at altitudes ranging from 1,000 to 1,800 meters above sea level. Unlike many regions that have transitioned almost exclusively to disease-resistant modern hybrids, this lot maintains a genetic base largely comprised of traditional varieties such as Bourbon, Typica, and Mundo Novo. While these older varieties are generally lower-yielding and more susceptible to leaf rust, they are preserved in these high-altitude zones because they offer a superior cup quality compared to heartier hybrids. Much of this production comes from the buffer zones surrounding the El Triunfo Biosphere Reserve, where shade-grown coffee managed by local cooperatives has become essential for environmental conservation and economic stability following the dissolution of state-run support systems in previous decades.
