Los Altos - Washed

This lot comes from the Los Altos community in Teopisca Nuevo León, Chiapas, grown at 1200–1700 masl by UCANOCH Cooperative, a producer organization supporting indigenous Tzeltal and Tzotzil communities. Hand-picked beans are pulped the same day and washed with clean water, then dried on raised beds or home roofs in the sun—a method that preserves clarity. Expect a full-bodied, round cup with vibrant acidity balanced by caramelized sweetness, layered with dried apricots and pecan, finishing smooth and milk-chocolate sweet. Worth buying for its comfort-forward profile with genuine complexity and the story of equitable direct trade with minority producers.
