Denounce the Light is produced by Teresa Ramirez of La Union, in the Sierra Mazateca of Mexico's Sierra Madre de Oaxaca. Typica is washed at 1,700 MASL, giving pear, kiwifruit and coconut sugar.
Typica is the other foundational Arabica, the lineage from which many varieties descend. Low-yielding but elegant, it gives a clean, sweet, classic cup.
In the washed process, cherry is pulped and the remaining mucilage fermented and rinsed away before drying. Stripping the fruit early lets the bean's intrinsic acidity and clarity speak, the cleanest expression of a varietal and its origin.
Mexico's southern states, Chiapas and Veracruz, grow shade coffee at altitude, producing mild, sweet, approachable cups with growing specialty focus.
