the bean

origin: mexico
region: chiapas
process: honey
varietal: gesha
status: in stock

this is a gesha varietal grown in chiapas, mexico, and roasted by cumbé, la tostadora. it's processed using the honey method, where some of the fruit mucilage is left on the bean during drying, which contributes to a naturally sweet, syrupy character. expect honey and honeycomb throughout, with the floral, delicate qualities gesha is known for sitting underneath that sweetness. because the honey process adds body and sugar-forward notes, filter brewing, such as a pour over or chemex, will let the clarity and texture come through without muting the finer detail. use water around 90-93°c and a medium-fine grind as a starting point.

about cumbé - la tostadora (roaster)

slow saturday mornings in san rafael have a particular quality to them, the kind where you actually want to linger rather than rush back to whatever's waiting on your phone. cumbé, on joaquin garcia icazbalceta, sits in that neighbourhood's quieter residential register, away from the busier commercial strips further east. as a dedicated roasting operation, the focus here is on the beans themselves and what happens before anything reaches your cup. people who come back do so with real regularity, which says something about consistency rather than novelty. you don't keep returning to a place that's coasting. the san rafael streets around here are walkable and unhurried on weekends, which makes the whole visit feel less transactional. a good place to start, honestly, is whatever single origin they're currently pouring as filter.
