This is a 5th year project coffee from a collective of producers around Santiago Atitlán, Sierra Mixe, Oaxaca.  It is purchased, and imported by Red Fox Coffee Merchants who have really expanded their work in Oaxaca over the last 8 years. We always bring in coffee from Yosotatu but wanted to maintain these underrepresented coffees from the Sierra Mixé on the menu. Super balanced cups, caramel and creamy with acidity to keep it buoyant. Understated, lovely coffee. Producers hitting 86point cups routinely and consistently with traditional and climate mandated  varieties is a significant achievement we will always support.
