Origin and Processing

It grows in Soconusco, Chiapas, one of Mexico’s most interesting high-altitude coffee regions, where the mild and humid climate supports slower ripening and a stronger expression of natural sweetness. The Bourbon variety brings an elegant and balanced foundation to the cup.

The Honey process preserves part of the mucilage during drying, which helps build more sweetness, more texture, and a more enveloping mouthfeel. Drying is carried out naturally with sun and wind, contributing to a clean, ripe, and well-resolved profile.
