Mexico: Rosa Ana Reyes

These beans come from the El Panteón farm and a third-generation coffee farming family, the Reyes family. The farm was originally planted in 1945 by Marco Reyes and production is now organised by the 7 brothers and overseen by Rosa Ana.

This lot is semi-washed, honey processed Costa Rica variety. Cherry is harvested between the months of December and March. Ripe cherries are then floated in water and sorted by density and quality before being mechanically depulped. In the honey process and layer of mucilage is left as a sticky coating on the beans to give the coffee sweetness and depth of flavour. The coffee is then spread on raised African beds and sun dried until the desired moisture level is obtained before the coffee is stored.

Fans of the Costa Rica coffees of Bean Voyage, which we carried last year, will be familiar with them. Bean Voyage supports a network of female coffee producers. Since 2022 they have taken their project into Veracruz, Mexico and are working with a group of 50 female producers there. Working with the producers, Bean Voyage organised a market readiness program which consisted of a series of consultations on harvest and post-harvest practices that smallholder women can implement to improve and maintain the quality of their coffee so that they can fetch higher prices in the international market.
