Holiday Filter 26'

Located in the South-West of Mexico, Finca Santa Cruz is run by the Argüello family where they cultivate 95 hectares of forest land at an altitude of 1400-1700 metres on the border of the El Triunfo Biosphere Reserve. 

Having been in the family for three-generations, the continued hard work the family puts in was rewarded when in 2022, Finca Santa Cruz became the first Mexican farm to win the Cup of Excellence three consecutive times. We couldn’t be happier to be showcasing one of their coffees for our Holiday release. 

For our Holiday Filter coffee, this lot from Finca Santa Cruz is a mix of Typica and Bourbon varieties. Hand-picked cherries are pulped, fermented for 24 hours then washed and sun-dried for 14 days. The resulting coffee is one that we found sweet and smooth with a lightly fermented fruit flavour that reminded us of fruitcake. 

Roasted to a light/medium level, we wanted to make sure that this coffee retained its sweetness while being an easy go to for the Holiday season. In the cup, this one reminds us of milk chocolate and fruitcake.
