Mexico - Los Altos

Here at Podda & Wren; Mexican speciality coffee has played a huge role for us, in an often massively understated way! 

We've sourced a huge amount of our Decaffeinated offerings from the Ensambles social project with only two caffeinated offerings from them, including El Chikon, and way back to our first ever line-up - Las Guerreras (big bonus points if you remember that one!)

We've decided to finally bring another another one to table with cracker from Los Altos. We source Los Altos from the same region as our current iteration of Decaf (Quetzal) in Frailesca, Chiapas - resulting in similar flavour notes of Chocolate, Golden Syrup and Marzipan, but with all the caffeine! These rich and complex flavour notes are in part thanks to the favourable growing conditions in this part of Chiapas, in the El Triunfo Biosphere Reserve - a haven of biodiversity and mineral heavy soil. 

Ensambles (whom we source Los Altos from) help to enrich lives in the often poorer states of Mexico, such as Chiapas and Guerrero, to reduce trafficking, narcotics trade and abuse.
