A coffee with rich aroma and full character
Our Mexican coffee is processed using the washed method, which provides a clean, clear flavor experience and pleasant mouthfeel. The cherries are hand-picked when the sugar content reaches over 22 brix, ensuring optimal ripeness. After harvest, the cherries are placed in water for three hours, where they are cleaned, hydrated, and thoroughly sorted. The fruit pulp is then removed in a depulping process, separating the beans from the cherries. They are sun-dried for four days before being transferred to mechanical drying on Guardiolas for an additional 48 hours. Finally, the beans undergo a stabilization phase under shade conditions in specially designed bags. The final resting period extends over eight days in jute sacks, after which the coffee is cupped and the best lots are selected for export.
The Santuario Innovation Center program
Since 1998, the Santuario Innovation Programme has worked purposefully to develop small producers and elevate the quality of their specialty coffee. The program is active in countries like Colombia, Costa Rica, Mexico, Brazil, Ethiopia, and El Salvador, focusing on more sustainable production, innovation, and local growth.
Working together to create progress
Over the years, the project has enabled selected coffee farms in multiple countries to establish themselves in the specialty coffee market. In collaboration with local small producers, they have managed to deliver quality coffee to international markets.
At the end of 2017, the initiative was also launched in Mexico with the establishment of Ixhuatlán Innovation Center in Veracruz (Ixhuatlán del Café). Today, more than 120 small farms are part of the project in the area. The Santuario program contributes with technical support and quality control, ensuring that farmers can continuously develop their production and maintain a high professional level.
