Tasting Notes: Apple Butter, Almond, Coffee Blossom, Cinnamon 

Heartwarming Coffee 

Created from the unique Pluma coffee plant varietal, this micro-lot from Omar Garcia Luna is the kind of coffee you want to drink all day. Warm and inviting, it is deeply rich with notes of almond, brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, apple butter and a slight jasmine-floral uplifting finish.

Inspiring Generations of Coffee Farmers 

Casimiro's father (far left) wanted to see his family lifted out of poverty. But the family cattle business, with high costs and low margins, made it impossible to achieve that goal. So, he turned his attention to growing specialty coffee but had one problem—he had no coffee plants. Walking to the nearest coffee farm, a two day walk, he negotiated the purchase of a handful of Pluma Hidalgo coffee plants. Those plants were the seed of a new beginning. Over the years, his son, Casimiro (far right), grandsons, Omar and Gerson (middle) and great grandchildren have grown those initial plants into a thriving, successful coffee farm with a reputation for excellence. They have also helped many in their community do the same. Years after the infamous walk for plants, San Agustin Loxicha now has a reputation for growing exceptional coffee—such as this incredible gem!
