Zongolica

This coffee is also called WPZ — "Woman Power Zongolica!" — by the 20 women who grew and produced it in Zongolica, Veracruz. The coffee was pulped with hand-cranked de-pulpers, washed and dried on patios for 15 days. Twenty producers contributed to this lot, and each adhered to the same practices on her own farm.

Coffee farms in Zongolica are agro-ecosystems, meaning the farms take into account the impact of the farming well beyond the farm and work to balance the energy and nutrients to preserve the region’s biodiversity. Intercropping and forest conservation are among the practiced tactics.

Expect bright cacao notes, a medium body, and a nice lingering sweetness with subtle papaya notes in this coffee.
