Mexico El Búho

Mexico El Búho  (Boo-oh) is grown in Los Altos, the northeast highlands of Chiapas. In case you’re wondering, El Búho means “the owl”, or “tecolotl”, which is a symbolic animal of the Mayan ancestors of the people that produce this coffee today.

High grown, this coffee exhibits lots of stone fruit characteristics such as peach, apricots, nectarines and plums. Savory body with a clean finish.  We roast it to a point where cinnamon/chocolate notes start to appear but do not overpower the unique flavor nuances this coffee has to offer.

Cupping Notes: peach, apricots, nectarines and plums. Cinnamon milk chocolate. Medium body. Clean cup.

Roasting Notes: High-grown and washed, these beans can take a fair amount of heat application in roasters that are capable of thermal energy adjustment.  Roast a little dark (just a tad lighter than Full City) to bring out the cinnamon chocolate notes.  Too dark, just past the sweet spot, and the cinnamon part of the note will disappear right out your roaster’s exhaust and the chocolate part will become like baker’s bitter-sweet chocolate.
