Mexico San José - Washed ANACAFÉ 14

We Taste - Vanilla wafer, macadamia, chocolate Five generations of coffee growers precede Alejandro Martinez Anaya on his biodiverse family farms in Xalapa-Coatepec, Veracruz. To carry coffee forward for the next generation, Martinez Anaya plants drought- and coffee leaf rust-resistant varieties like ANACAFÉ 14. Released commercially in just 2014, this hardy variety is one of the many Arabica-robusta hybrids chosen to respond to coffee leaf rust and climate change. After ripe picking, Martinez Anaya's process utilizes a unique overnight ferment-in-pulp prior to being depulped, soaked, washed clean, and set on rooftop dryers. Washing brings clarity to this slightly fermented single-variety microlot, yielding a winey-sweet profile with lots of cocoa, cooked berry, and amaretto in the aroma. Medium roasting brings balance and approachability, making it suitable for all brewing methods. We welcome the return of Alejandro Martinez Anaya's coffee for their third season with Vignette. In past
