LOT HISTORY

Veracruz is one of Mexico's primary coffee-producing regions. Its mountainous areas—particularly municipalities such as Coatepec, Huatusco, Totutla, and Tlaltetela—boast a long-standing coffee tradition that has recently evolved toward a production model increasingly focused on specialty coffee.

Most of the region's coffee is Arabica, grown on small family farms under shade using agroforestry systems. Producers combine knowledge passed down through generations with modern cultivation and processing techniques designed to enhance quality and better express the coffee's origin characteristics.

This lot comes from small-scale producers in Huatusco. The coffee cherries are harvested at peak ripeness and subsequently undergo a washed process, which includes depulping and the removal of the mucilage.

Finally, the coffee is dried slowly on raised beds in sheltered, dry, and well-ventilated areas. This method promotes even drying and helps preserve the bean's quality and stability prior to storage.

THE RECIPE

At Familia Osorio, we believe in the uniqueness of every coffee. That is why we roast lightly to accentuate the brightness of each origin, allowing you to enjoy the full flavor profile regardless of the brewing method.

This means these light roasts can also work beautifully as Single Origin espressos, giving you the chance to enjoy the coffee in both styles while fine-tuning your recipe with greater precision.

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

Familia Osorio recommends allowing your coffee beans to rest properly. Degassing is key to achieving a cleaner, more flavorful cup. We recommend resting espresso coffee for 10 days and filter coffee for at least 14 days. Experiment and discover how the flavor of your coffee evolves.
