MEXICO - RED 5 DE DICIEMBRE - WASHED

$16.00

NOTICE! We ordered fancy new custom printed bags, but due to miscommunication, they are too small. Our regular bags were 250 grams. This coffee ships in 200 grams and is priced accordingly.

Hey yinz! It seems like the weather has finally shifted toward the cold here in Pittsburgh. The times are chilly and gray, which makes me want to stay indoors and drink coffee all day. Cue the theme music for the ultimate all day crusher that is this lot from the Oaxaca region on Mexico. This is a traditionally washed lot of mixed varieties from 90 or so small farmers under the Red 5 De Diciembre group.

It’s been a minute since we’ve featured a Mexican coffee and sometimes I forget how delightful they can be. This one is sparkling with a strawberry acidity and underlying caramel sweetness. The body borders between velvet and syrupy, but what really catches my attention is the after taste. The residual sugary cherry soda vibe that lingers forever is addicting. Seriously, I brewed this coffee a couple day ago and finished the whole thing in less than two minutes. The good times here are eminently crushable.
