This lot of Veracruz coffee beans is a combination of Typica, Bourbon, and Caturra varietals commonly grown in Mexico, and were washed processed before undergoing a natural water decaffeination at the Descamex facility. Veracruz, the second-largest coffee-producing state in Mexico, is known for its ideal growing conditions, including elevations of 700-1,400masl, warm and semi-humid climate with an average annual rainfall of 2,141mm. Coffee growers in Mexico are primarily smallholders, with 70% of the industry made up of producers with less than 10 hectares of land. In 2015, the Mexican government initiated a national program to renew coffee plantations with new leaf-rust-resistant varietals. These steps helps to conserve biodiversity and reduces the need for conventional fertilizers and pesticides.
