Description
Producer:
The Martinez family has called Xalapa-Coatepec, Mexico, home for generations, and the farm there was started by Alejandro Martinez's great-great-grandfather, Antonio Martinez. Alejandro plants rust-resistant varieties in separate plots, so quality and yield can be compared plot against plot and he can see which varieties work on this land. Marsellesa and Mundo Maya have been consistent. Anacafe and Obata are the newer plantings, with fewer harvests behind them.
Place:
Coffee grows across Chiapas, Oaxaca, Nayarit, Puebla and Veracruz, at 900 to 1,800 meters, in highland forest and volcanic soil. Harvest runs November through March. Smallholder farms have put renewed attention on processing, and the cups have gotten cleaner for it, with balanced acidity and sweetness. Alejandro Martinez farms in Xalapa-Coatepec, Veracruz, and the 33 farmers of BASILIO farm in El Cuarenteño, Nayarit.
