Mexico - Finca de Araujo

Notes: Sweet and soft with notes of chocolate, almond, vanilla and amaretto.

David Castro is the owner of Finca de Araujo, a 4.5 hectare farm near the Pacific Ocean just north of Acapulco. David cultivates 9000 coffee trees of typica, bourbon and caturra, and natural processes his coffees over an average of 20 days.

Guerrero is a diverse land in southwestern Mexico. The northern portion of the state, where coffee is produced, is a rugged, mountainous forest with cool winds and rains coming from the Pacific coastline providing relief to the high summer temperatures. Throughout the south, canyons and plateaus contribute to different economies. Guerrero is not known for producing large amounts of coffee due to intense weather. However, the producers of northern Guerrero leverage the shade of the tropical forest to protect their coffee trees. In terms of processing, our producer partners have perfected the art, using natural methods to create the highest-quality coffees sourced from Mexico.
