Pluma Hidalgo – Oaxaca – Mexico

Roaster notes

From the remote Sierra Mazateca region of Oaxaca, Mexico - one of the most isolated and least coordinated coffee-growing areas in the country. This exceptional lot comes from Eloxochitlán de Flores Magón, a loosely structured collection of smallholder producers working with local coordinator Felipe Palacios. The region's challenging conditions - steep topography, cool temperatures at 1500m+, and many producers speaking only Mazateco - contribute to tiny yields but among Mexico's most complex coffees. All coffee is hand-pulped, fermented for approximately 48 hours in wooden tanks, then dried on traditional petates (hand-woven mats). Nordic Roasting works directly with these marginalized producers, paying above market price as first payment plus a quality-based second payment that can increase household income up to 10x the local market average.
