3 - Finca El Deseo - Mexico 2026 (Experimenta)

Finca El Deseo is located at 1,400 meters above sea level in La Laguna, Zongolica, Veracruz, this intimate two-hectare farm represents three decades of unbroken family dedication. For 30 years, coffee has been the economic foundation of the family. Today, that legacy is actively managed by the next generation, who have taken the inherited knowledge and elevated the farm's agricultural practices to compete in the demanding specialty coffee market. They have transformed a traditional family crop into a meticulously controlled operation.
This exclusive micro-lot consists of 100% Sarchimor, harvested during the narrow February to March window. To unlock and maximize the complex cup potential of this specific variety, the family implemented a rigorous "Experimental Washed" protocol. The process begins with a strictly selective harvest of optimally ripe cherries, immediately followed by density flotation and thorough sanitization to establish a clean microbial environment.
The core of this lot's unique profile lies in its controlled anaerobic fermentation phase. By isolating the cherries from oxygen, the producers deliberately manipulate the sensory development before proceeding with the washing phase. Finally, the coffee is dried and stabilized, then secured in hermetic liners within traditional jute sacks and kept in a strictly moisture-controlled warehouse. This lot is a testament to how generational resilience, combined with precise experimental processing, can redefine the potential of Zongolica coffee.
