A Taste of Tradition and Innovation from Oaxaca
This coffee is grown by the Red 5 de Diciembre network, a collective of 1,420 smallholders in the Sierra Mazateca region of Oaxaca, Mexico. Located in Eloxochitlán de Flores Magón, a town with deep indigenous Mazatec roots, the farms cultivate Typica, Bourbon, and Mundo Novo varieties at altitudes of 1500 to 1800 meters.
Careful selective harvesting and a 24-hour fermentation give this coffee a refined traditional flavor profile - a balanced cup with tasting notes of Toblerone-like milk chocolate, marshmallow and lively orange zest.
About the Red 5 de Diciembre Collective
The Red 5 de Diciembre network emerged in 2014 after La Roya disease devastated local crops, forcing farmers to regroup and rethink their approach. Rooted in the traditions of Mazatec culture, the community has long been shaped by its resilience and connection to the land, where smallholder farming has been a way of life for generations.
In recent years, the collective has focused on improving specialty processing and marketing with support from Ensembles de Café, achieving organic certification and higher premiums for their coffee.
Mazatec Roots and World-Class Coffee
Eloxochitlán de Flores Magón itself is named after the famous anarchist and social reformer Ricardo Flores Magón, reflecting the community’s long-standing history of resistance and self-determination. This spirit is evident in their approach to coffee - grown in some of the most remote and sparsely populated mountainous areas of Mexico.
This lot highlights the region’s potential, with a clean and classic flavor profile featuring lively orange acidity, a creamy body, and notes of hazelnut and milk chocolate.
