Agustin Girón & Antonio Velasco - Mexico - Garnica Washed

Antonio Girón, a coffee farmer with 25 years of experience, works alongside his wife and three children on their family plot in the community of Sibactel, within Tenejapa. In addition to coffee, Antonio grows corn, following the local tradition shared by many farmers in the area. This harvest marks his first collaboration with Caféología (our export partner).

Agustín Velasco hails from Pulum Sibak and is a father of five. With 35 years in coffee farming, he often leaves his community to seek work elsewhere, returning during harvest season to work the land with his family. This is Caféología's second year collaborating with Agustín.

Although Antonio and Agustín come from different backgrounds, their coffees combine harmoniously. Their shared dedication to quality, attention to detail, and respect for the land creates a remarkable coherence, allowing their distinct beans to blend seamlessly into a single, unified lot.

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.
