La Yerba
A clean, well-rounded Mexican natural, with milk chocolate and hazelnut giving the cup its body. Apple brings a fresh finish, lifted by a touch of citrus.
Grown by members of Sociedad el Astal in La Yerba, Nayarit, this Mexican natural comes through Grupo Terruño Nayarit. Cherries are picked, rinsed and partly dried before completing their drying at the Arrocera mill, then rested at El Duende dry mill in Compostela. Wood roasted by us in Totnes.

Producer Info
Sociedad el Astal is a coffee-growing cooperative in La Yerba, near Tepic on the northern side of the San Juan volcano. Its members work within an ejido, a system of communal landholding in which individual farmers cultivate their own parcels.
The cooperative is part of Grupo Terruño Nayarit, whose producer groups share ownership of the organisation. The group works with San Cristobal Coffee Importers and a traceability system that records the coffee’s passage through processing and quality control.
For this natural coffee, cherries begin drying before being taken to the Arrocera mill to finish. At El Duende dry mill in Compostela, the coffee rests for 16 weeks before hulling, cleaning, sorting and preparation for export.
