La Union - Mexico

Description

In the cup, La Unión offers a smooth, clean harmony.

The texture is silky, without heaviness. Stone-fruit notes settle with finesse, supported by a biscuity impression reminiscent of quiet mornings. Almond adds a discreet elegance, while the clear, persistent finish brings back that white peach signature.

When filtered, the coffee gains in transparency, revealing a soft, fruity radiance.
In espresso, it surprises with a vibrant, precise acidity that magnifies its character.

Origin & Territory

Nestled in the heart of San Mateo Yoloxochitlán, in the wild Sierra Mazateca, this lot comes from a mosaic of small Mazatecan producers.

Here, the plots are tiny, sometimes just a few kilos of cherries a year. But each harvest bears an almost ritualistic care: gestures handed down, repeated, refined.

The region's coffee growers work with limited resources, but with a clear vision: to preserve a living heritage. Batches are grouped with precision to create coherent, vibrant community micro-lots faithful to their terroir.

Why choose La Unión?

A community guardian of ancient knowledge

Mazatec growers cultivate coffee as they would guard a history: with patience, humility and a willingness to pass on. Their approach sheds light on an often overlooked facet of coffee-growing Mexico.

A vision of harmony

This coffee testifies to the strength of the collective: each small batch is added like a note in a common score, assembled to create a coherent, ethereal, precise profile.

A rare balance

Sierra Mazateca offers a luminous coffee, with a surprisingly lively acidity for the region. A signature that makes La Unión an ideal companion for lovers of finesse and clarity.
