Mexico Guerrero Biodynamic Natural

About This Coffee

This is one of our most important coffees of the year. Mexican coffee has dwindled to almost nothing in recent years as a result of coffee leaf rust, low C market prices, political strife, and drug trafficking. Almost all remaining Mexican coffees are grown on large estates in Oaxaca and other well-known provinces. This coffee is different. It is from the Guerrero region, and is grown by indigenous people in traditional biodynamic fashion. These coffees are from tiny farms (often less than a hectare) with productions of less than 60 kg from many of them. These farmers' way of life depends on companies like Skylark to support them by paying higher prices than the market would offer for the quality they supply... that's why we bought a really big lot from Guerrero this year. Fortunately, the quality of this particular lot is stellar. Luscious notes of Ferrero Rocher and cherry preserve will reward you for supporting these farmers along with us. We sourced this coffee through Ensambles, who do superlative work to shepherd this coffee from seed to our roastery.
