typica and bourbon from cumbé is a honey-processed coffee grown in guerrero, mexico. the two varietals, bourbon and typica, are both older arabica cultivars known for clean, straightforward sweetness. honey processing, where some fruit mucilage is left on the bean during drying, reinforces that sweetness, which shows up here as honey and honeycomb in the cup. the result is a coffee that leans mild and sweet rather than sharp or fruity. it suits filter methods well, where the clean sweetness can come through without being masked, though a gentle espresso or moka pot will also work if you keep extraction on the shorter side.

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.
