Mexico Oaxaca Mixteca San Jose Zaragoza - 40487 - Ecotact Bags - SPOT RCWHSE

This particular lot comes from families living in the community of San Jose De Zaragoza within Putla Villa de Guerrero municipality that cultivate coffee on farms with just a few acres.

Imagine traveling along progressively steeper and curvier roads through villages, where the local population still wear traditional indigenous clothing, eventually arriving at a lush forest intercropped with coffee, bananas, corn, beans, and fruit trees.

This Oaxacan coffee growing region, known as the Mountainous Package, is peppered with small coffee farms. Processing details During the harvest, each producer follows a strict protocol which includes picking cherries at optimum ripeness, hand sorting, floating to remove damaged and undeveloped beans, depulping and fermenting.

After fermentation, the parchment is washed and placed on patios or raised beds to slowly dry to 11%. Exporting preparation Producers work with Garra de Jaguar, which facilitates transportation of dried parchment to the dry mill facility where coffee is received, cupped and selected for export.

Garra de Jaguar preparation ensures traceability and quality control throughout the post harvest process, which is a vital resource for establishing higher prices for producers.
