Tasting Notes: Green Tea, Vanilla, Cinnamon, Juicy Plum
The Women Farmers of Juquileño
Dõna Dionisia (pictured above, middle), and her 3 married children, are all a part of a small-scale, artisanal group of coffee farmers called the “Aroma Juquileño”. Banded together to support and encourage one another, this group of female coffee growers is focused on producing high quality coffee. All from Zapotec origin, an ancient indigenous people group found primarily in the Oaxaca region, their farms can be found high in the rugged mountains of Juquila Vijanos.
Committed to each other as well as maintaining their Zapotec traditions and language, they are producing some of the most outstanding coffee we’ve tasted from this region. Created from a mix of coffee plant varietals, including the much sought after Marsellesa plant, this micro-lot has delicate acidity with fruit notes of juicy plum combined with tastes of cinnamon, vanilla, and green tea.

Brewing Tips
Use Filtered Water
Contaminants and chemicals in your water can make your coffee taste muddy, and they can also be harsh on your equipment. Using filtered (but not distilled) water helps your coffee taste clean, bright, and naturally sweet. And while there are a lot of expensive water filters on the market, we find that an inexpensive, basic carbon filter does a great job filtering water for coffee brewing.
Grind Fresh
We all love the smell of freshly ground coffee but all that beautiful aroma should be going into your cup and not just into the air. That is why we recommend grinding your coffee immediately before brewing so that all that goodness isn’t lost. The sooner you use your coffee after grinding, the more flavorful your cup will be preventing it from tasting stale and flat. And for best grinding results, we highly recommend using a quality burr grinder.
Coffee to Water Ratio
The amount of coffee beans you use can have a big impact on taste. Too much coffee, and the cup can taste heavy and sour. Too little coffee, and the cup can taste thin and bitter. We recommend using a 1:16 ratio by weight, 60g of coffee for every 1,000g of water which is about 2 Tbsp of coffee for every 8oz of water. Our preference is to use a scale to weigh coffee and water for accuracy and consistency, all of which can make a big difference.
