LOT HISTORY

Huatusco is a region with a rich cultural heritage. Its name, of Nahuatl origin, means "at the monkey" or "at the hill of the monkey," evoking the deep connection of this place with its natural environment.

Recognized as the leading coffee producer in the state of Veracruz, Huatusco enjoys a privileged geographical location. Factors such as its fertile soil, temperate climate, and altitude favor the cultivation of high-altitude coffee with exceptional qualities.

This batch from small producers has been hand-picked to ensure only the highest quality fruit continues the process. The cherries are then pulped and placed in tanks with clean water to begin fermentation, which typically lasts between 12 and 24 hours.

After fermentation, the beans are carefully washed with fresh water to remove any remaining mucilage. They are then spread out on patios or raised beds to dry in the sun until they reach the optimal moisture level.

The result is a clean, sweet and balanced coffee, reflecting the unique character of the Huatusco mountains.

THE RECIPE

At Familia Osorio, we believe in the uniqueness of each coffee. That's why we roast lightly to accentuate the brilliance of each origin, so you can enjoy its full flavor using any brewing method.

This means that these light roasts also sometimes work as Single Origin espressos, allowing you to enjoy the coffee in both methods by experimenting with its recipe more precisely.

We offer these guidelines to help you develop a recipe, but keep in mind that it may vary depending on the machine, mill, and water you use.*

The Osorio family recommends properly resting your coffee beans. Degassing is important for achieving your cleanest and most flavorful cup. We recommend resting your espresso coffee for 10 days and your filter coffee for at least 14 days. Experiment and discover how the flavor of your coffee evolves.
