Origin Story
The Sierra Mazateca is a mountain range located to the north of Oaxaca City. The region is very remote, hard to access, and is marked by its steep and dramatic topography. It became an unlikely centre for alternative tourism in the 1960s and 70s after a local healer called María Sabina allowed Westerners to participate in the velada healing ritual.
Today the region is rarely visited, and even in the coffee world it is often neglected due to its remote location, challenging conditions, and small production. Coffee is generally grown at 1,600 MASL and above, and experiences very low temperatures making frost damage a real issue for producers.
On the other hand, the climate and altitude contribute positively to the cup profile, and in general, coffees from the Mazateca are amongst the most complex and high quality in all of Mexico.
With production being so small, some of the individual producers yields are not large enough to create a single lot, but the quality of the coffee that they do produce is exceptional.
This lot represents a blend of some of these small but mighty lots, and is testament to the great QC and lot-building work that the Red Beetle team do at the mill in Magdalena Apasco.
It’s incredibly comforting and warming in the cup, being rich, round and sweet, with notes of cocoa, toffee and chamomile.
