Teddy Esteve used four anaerobic tanks, each with 12 bags per batch capacity, for our fermentation process. The fermentation is carried out without water in the tanks and takes approximately 60 hours. The temperature range during fermentation is maintained between 11 to 24 degrees Celsius. After fermentation, the cherries are dried on African beds for approximately five days. Finally, the cherries are dried in mechanical dryers for around 48 hours, using a temperature range between 25 to 40 degrees Celsius.

About This Coffee

Finca Guadalupe Zaju has a rich history in coffee production in Mexico. Situated in the renowned Soconusco region of Chiapas, it was established in 1890 and later acquired by a German-Mexican couple in 1945. The couple managed the farm for nearly six decades before selling it to the current owner, Eduardo 'Teddy' Esteves.

Teddy and his family have been involved in coffee, tea, and cocoa for over 150 years. Their vast experience and knowledge have contributed to the recent success of Guadalupe Zaju. The farm's coffee is 100% shade-grown, and they pay meticulous attention to picking, fertilizing, and pruning. They have renovated the farm's older and less productive parts with hybrid varieties, such as Marsellesa, which have high yield and excellent cup quality. Each lot of the estate has a dedicated full-time agronomy and management team. Additionally, the farm has recently purchased neighbouring farms, such as La Gloria and Chanjul, under the Guadalupe Zaju name. Teddy has consulted with post-harvest experts such as Aida Battle and Camilo Merizalde of the Santuario Project to ensure quality processing and drying.

The partnership between Teddy and Camilo from the Santaurio Project has been highly beneficial. Their shared vision for quality excellence and innovation has resulted in construction of the Ixhuatlan del Cafe processing centre. The facility is fully integrated with wet and dry mills, greenhouses, drying areas, coffee gardens, a laboratory, and a warehouse, all aimed at achieving quality excellence. The Ixhuatlan centre collaborates with small producers from Veracruz to produce and isolate only the most exceptional lots, which are then processed under the watchful eye of the expert processing managers of the Santuario project.

Basic Brew Method

NORMCORE STYLE SUPER LIGHT ROASTING

We roast our single-origin coffees as lightly as possible. It's often lighter than the standard light-roast profile (Our development time ratio is 8-10%, while a typical light roast's ratio is around 13-16%).

Regardless of its origin, varietal or process, our approach is to maximise the flavour profile of the coffee by minimising flavours caused by roasting. Our single-origin coffees have a delightful silky texture and well-balanced taste, despite being lightly roasted.
