  • About El Cuarenteño | Mexico

    Grown at around 1,100 metres in Nayarit on Mexico's Pacific coast, El Cuarenteño comes from Grupo Terruño Nayarita, a group of producers working with a mix of Bourbon, Typica, Caturra and Catuai. During the December-to-April harvest, cherries are hand-sorted by floating and then processed at two small wet mills, Sandía and Rústico. There, the coffee is pulped, washed and then dried in the sun on patios built across a patchwork of connected rooftops and courtyards. It then travels to the El Duende dry mill in the town of Compostela, where it rests for 14 weeks before being cleaned, sorted and graded for export. Every lot is cupped and logged along the way, so the coffee can be traced from farm to mill.

    Tasting notes include plum, caramel and milk chocolate

Processing Method

Washed

The washed process is the traditional method where the fruit is removed from the bean after harvest using water and de-pulpers. The coffee is sometimes fermented to break down remaining sugars before being washed in grading channels and then dried. This results in a “clean” cup that highlights the bean’s inherent origin characteristics and bright acidity.

Coffee Varietal

Mixed Varietals

This coffee may include several different coffee varietals. On many farms, multiple cultivars are grown side-by-side and harvested together. In other cases, a coffee may be composed of several components selected to create a balanced flavour profile. Each varietal contributes its own characteristics to the final cup.
