TYPICA – HERBAL GARCÍA JUÁREZ
Variety: Typica
Producer: Herbal García Juárez
Farm: Finca El Llano
Location: San José Vista Hermosa, Mexico
Altitude: 1,680 masl
Process: Washed
Processing details:
- Ripe cherries are selectively harvested and floated to remove defects.
- Depending on the harvest period, the cherries undergo oxidation in cherry for two nights (resting phase).
- The coffee is then depulped and dry fermented in open tanks without water for 48 to 72 hours, depending on ambient temperature.
- After fermentation, the coffee is fully washed.
- Drying begins in full sun for the first few days and continues under shade thereafter.
We taste: A beautifully floral, terroir-driven Typica with delicate aromas of chamomile and Greek mountain tea. This coffee develops depth, with a juicy acidity reminiscent of pears and ripe blackcurrant. A rich, fig-like sweetness creates an long and lingering finish. As the coffee cools from hot to cold, a pleasant, delicate spiciness emerges in the aftertaste, bringing back the comforting herbal notes of chamomile and mountain tea.
Description
Description
Herbal Garcia Juarez is a smallholder producer in the Sierra Mazateca, farming at San José Vista Hermosa at 1,700-1,900 masl, which is exceptionally high for the region. This lot consists of just 15 kg of green coffee. The whole cherries go through two days of dry, aerobic fermentation, with no anaerobic tank involved, before they are depulped and washed. The very high altitude, with its low temperatures and wild yeasts, still keeps the cup remarkably clean and precise. The variety is Typica, one of the oldest arabica varieties and the genetic ancestor of many that followed, Bourbon included. It rarely gets the attention of newer varieties, but this lot is a beautiful example of what it can deliver when variety, altitude and processing come together. Many people who have been in the business a long time would die for a high-end Typica, so let’s make a case for it. In the cup, this is a beautifully floral, terroir-driven Typica with delicate aromas of chamomile and Greek mountain tea. A juicy acidity reminiscent of pears and ripe blackcurrant adds depth, and a rich, fig-like sweetness leads into a long, lingering finish. As it cools from hot to cold, a delicate spiciness emerges in the aftertaste, bringing back the comforting herbal notes. Thank you, Herbal, for this tiny but exceptional lot.
