This is a farm that holds a special place in our hearts. Gathered around an extinct volcano, Cerro San Juan, a committed group of 260 cooperative coffee farmers are working together to produce arguably the best coffee in Mexico. Terruño Nayarita coffees come from heirloom trees. The word ‘Terruño’ means ‘homestead’. These are farmers that take great pride in their coffee.
San Cristobal Coffee Importers takes great care to find and produce excellent coffee, making sure farmers use safe, sustainable shade techniques and provide a fair wage to the workers. Check out their webpage:
San Cristobal
Always our favorite Mexican coffees . A little fuller bodied than most lots, good sweetness and full of floral, nutty, caramel & chocolaty tones. Lighter roasts accentuate the cool floral & caramel qualities but will have noticeable lemony citric crispness. Medium to just before 2nd crack will produce smooth defined and balanced cups. Darker roasts get edgy and strong, smoky nutty and bakers chocolate tones which some will definitely like as well
Roasting Notes:
Tasty from light to dark but I would shoot for a nice medium roast to start. A little bit of a rougher cup into second crack but very chocolaty with just a hint of a floral aromatics, a smoky finish. A bit more delicate, sweeter and smoother at lighter roasts. A good bean to play with different roast levels. Even roasting with medium to low chaff.

These washed beans, remind me of a good Kona at a fraction of the price.

This is the first time we roasted coffee and selected these beans and it does remind us of Kona as we usually drink Kona coffee from a farm in Hawaii. The coffee we roasted was very good and also turned out very smooth.
