From ILSE Coffee
Agua Mariposa - translated to butterfly water - is a community in Eloxochitlán de Flores Magón. Some of our favorite Mexican coffees originate here from the Mazateca mountains. Here, each individual lot is so small that separation is impossible, instead, they are combined to create this high-quality community lot. Farm elevations range from 1,600 to 1,800 MASL consisting of Bourbon, Caturra and Oro Azteca, harvested in April 2026. We find a sweet, round profile with good balance and structure. We taste notes of drinking chocolate, orange, cherry and a finish of sweet almond. While we typically seek single producer lots, finding them in the Mazateca region is nearly impossible. Farm sizes are usually less than one hectare, and the old stock Typica and Bourbon planted here yield very little cherry. Additionally, many producers are of Mazateco descent and primarily speak their native language, making communication a challenge. Sourcing from this area of Mexico is difficult, but the rewards are certainly worth it. Cherries are picked at peak ripeness and are left to ferment in cherry before being depulped. The cherries are then wet fermented for 48-72 hours. After fermentation, the seeds are washed and dried on raised beds for 14-17 days
