7 - Finca Los Naranjos - Mexico 2026 (Experimenta)

Finca Los Naranjos represents a deep-rooted family legacy shaped by resilience and a profound respect for nature. Founded by a hardworking former muleteer who filled the land with orange trees, the farm is now managed by the third generation of the family, represented by Salma Jazmín Cortés Posadas. Despite devastating challenges like the 2012 leaf rust crisis and modern climate shifts, the family tirelessly renovated their high-mountain farm, creating a thriving ecosystem where coffee grows under a diverse canopy of fruit trees, sharing the habitat with abundant local wildlife.
This exceptional lot features the Marsellesa variety, chosen for its remarkable adaptability to the region's humid, temperate climate and its outstanding cup potential. The family's commitment to quality is evident in their rigorous processing methods and high quality storage materials.
The coffee was successfully harvested just before intense rains complicated the collection and drying of subsequent lots. For the Cortés Posadas family, presenting this coffee at the Cup of Excellence is the ultimate reward for their unwavering dedication, the collaborative spirit of their farm, and the rich terroir of Huitzilán de Serdán, Puebla.
