MEXICO SANTA MARIA YUCUHITI #1172

Fine Mexican coffee is the white wine of the coffee world: light-medium bodied, delicate, with a buttery caramel roundness and flavors of chocolate and cocoa powder, cinnamon spice, toasted nuts, and clean, gentle acidity. Mexico has been a coffee producer since as early as the 1790s, from plants brought over from other areas under Spanish rule. It was only after the Mexican revolution of 1920, when plantations were broken up and redistributed to the indigenous population, that the coffee industry could flourish. Today, most of the farms in Mexico, and the prime Oaxaca region, are small and family-run: this Mexico Santa Maria Yucuhiti is sourced from growers in the Sierra Mixteca cooperative. The Mixtec people (whose name means Cloud People in Nahuatl) are an indigenous group, native to Oaxaca, from way back in pre-Colombian times. In its height, the Mixtec civilization was known for its artisanship with gold and turquoise, and its pictorial, codex books of history and mythology. Look them up! In normal years, Dapper and Wise travel down to Oaxaca to source this coffee, and they’re proud to support this close-knit community of growers.

Hazelnut creamer? This cup brings its own! This world-class Mexican cup of creamy chocolate and hazelnut Nutella is a roast that has to be brewed to be believed. Reserve your own bag of Dapper & Wise’s Mexico Santa Maria Yucuhiti, and don’t tira-miss out on this dessert in a mug. Breakfast never had it so good...
