Pedro Guzmán - Mexico - Garnica Washed

Pedro Guzmán Jiménez is a gentle man with a big personality—kind and courageous—who witnessed the arrival of coffee cultivation in his Tenejapa and has remained loyal to it. Pedro lives by a simple philosophy: when he plants, he nurtures the land; when he works in the coffee fields, he supports his family; and when he harvests, he strengthens his community. This harvest marks our first collaboration with Caféología (our export partner).

Garnica variety is a cross of Mundo Novo and Caturra that was developed in Jalapa, Veracruz, Mexico in the 1960’s by Mexican Institute of Coffee (INMECAFE)

The fermentation of the coffee lot began with a careful process of flotation and denaturation, followed by the immediate depulping of the cherries. Fermentation was carried out in parchment for 24 hours in a covered plastic container, allowing for proper control of the conditions. Subsequently, the coffee was sun-dried for six days, with interruptions due to rain, ensuring that its unique characteristics and flavors were preserved.
