Mexico Altura Veracruz Natural

One Real 16oz. Pound

Mexico Altura Veracruz Natural is grown by a partnership of farms in the Veracruz growing region, milled and exported by APG Coffee in Veracruz, Mexico.

  APG is not new to coffee exporting.  Rather, it was founded more than 30 years ago by Antonio Perez Galvan, hence the initials APG that form the company's name.  

But things are changing at APG thanks to a pair of great-grandchildren, Ernesto Perez and his sister Givette, who have developed strategies for lot separation to bring specialty lots to the fore. 

The aroma is reminiscent of desert monsoon petrichor and fresh peppercorns, while the body has a medium-soft mouthfeel and is sweet, with notes of brown sugar and orange zest. The finish is clean and fresh, with notes of pecan and a touch of apple.

In short - this coffee is surprisingly delicious; we love it, and you will too!

APG works with its community of farmers to provide technical assistance and expertise to promote best practices in organic farming. 

Harvested cherries from these select farms are delivered to the APG wet mill, which has been redesigned to focus on lot separation and quality control.

Cherries received at the APG wet mill are meticulously sorted and floated to remove underripe and damaged cherries. Sorted cherries are then placed on raised beds and dried for 15 to 20 days before resting in Grainpro cocoons until it is time to mill.  

Milling and preparation are also done at the APG dry mill, ensuring the coffee receives personal care from farm to export.  

The APG dry mill is also recognized for its attention to preparing specialty lots and was selected to mill the 2022 Cup of Excellence winning lots.
