About the coffee

La Mazateca maintains its historical cultivation of typica and bourbon, two varietals now very rare within Latin America due to its susceptibility to roya. Coffee cultivation is very largely organic. The farms maintain a culture of minimal intervention; producers are quite reluctant towards pruning, and are proud of their 2-3 meter-high, 40-year-old typica trees. Coffee is produced in agroforestry meaning within different levels of shade and amongst other crops & wood.

Farmers process their coffee until dry parchment. Cherries are usually harvested and left to rest overnight. Sometimes floated using a plastic container filled with water and a sieve to take out floaters (low density fruits). Next step is depulping, usually manual. Depulped beans are then left to ferment without water in a wooden tank for 24, 48 sometimes 72 hours, due to the cool climate and cold nights. This extended fermentation very likely enhances the coffees’ flavours and creates its complexity. Drying occurs on patios, usually on top of the house.

Coffee in the state of Oaxaca

Our importers from Ensambles cupped 636 coffees during the 2023 season, building 5 different regional blends of distinct profile. Very often they need to go pick up those coffees directly at producers’ houses and pay cash against coffee. There is a huge logistics work in order to get those nanolots from remote communities to Huautla.
Huipil is a blend of nanolots from 76 producers of the region. All nanolots went through Ensambles’ careful QC. A single producer’s lot in their warehouse weighted on average 63 kgs of parchment, so each producer delivered less than a bag of coffee each on average. Huipil in translate is the traditional woman clothing weaved and worn in the Mazateca region.

Taste profile
How to understand the grid on packaging?

We wanted to make it as easy as possible for you to choose your coffee, so we worked with the guys from Steezy Graphic Studio to come up with a “grid” – a simple grid where you can easily find the characteristics of each coffee.
The red dot next to the description of each coffee is placed exactly there, so that you can easily imagine how the coffee will taste.

Citrus – chocolate
Here we’d like to give you an idea of how fruity the coffee will be. There’s a long way from citrus to chocolate, so imagine more in between:
citrus, berries, green apples, red apples, stone fruits, dried fruits, nuts, milk chocolate and dark chocolate 😉

Mild – wild
What is mild coffee? We’d say it’s unpretentious. A coffee that you can just have every morning and not have to think too much about it. It’s just good.
The higher the dot, the more excitement you can expect in the taste of coffee. The more surprising and fun it can be. These coffees are fruity, fun, interesting and make you think about what it is that you actually enjoy about them so much.
