Mexico: La Laja Honey, Tlaltetela, Veracruz
Descripción
Descripción
La Laja, a family farm and mining group in Veracruz, Mexico, began in 1920 when its founder, Hermilo Sampieri, bought his first coffee farm in Huatusco. His son joined in, and eventually, one farm became seven—Finca La Laja, Finca El Mirador, Finca Las Palmas, Finca La Veracruz, and three other farms in Puebla. La Laja also purchases a wide variety of cherries from small farmers in Chiapas. They are experts in processing, and they own wet and dry mills. La Laja’s honey-processed bean has its skin removed, but the sugary pulp remains through fermentation to add a sweet flavor. After de-pulping, this coffee dries for up to 20 days on covered raised beds.
Origin Story: Nestled in the lush landscapes of Veracruz, La Laja's farms benefit from rich volcanic soils and a favorable climate. The honey process used in this coffee enhances its natural sweetness and complexity, making it a standout choice for those seeking a unique and flavorful cup.
