Double washed Robusta, a unique technique from the Tepatlaxco region

A Mexican Arabica is assembled with a rare, double washed Robusta. Producers in the Tepatlaxco region treat their Robusta with the same painstaking care as the Arabica, refusing to regard it as a lower-grade coffee. This is why they choose a unique method: double washing. Cup after cup, you will savour a textured coffee that releases toasted and spicy notes.

Origins

Although Mexico has grown Arabica for several centuries, Robusta only appeared in 1949. Refusing to treat it as a lower-grade coffee for the entry-level market, producers endeavour to turn this Robusta to its best advantage. As the fruit’s flesh is firmly attached to the coffee bean, they found out that one wash was not enough to soften the whole. So they developed a unique double wash process for the Robusta. This rare coffee also comprises Mexican Arabica.

Roast

The Arabica beans undergo a medium roasting process, while the Robusta beans are roasted deeply at length, after having been washed twice. This blend of Vertuo Arabica and Robusta is medium-roasted.

Aromatic profile

Master Origin Mexico Robusta is double washed. Astonishing, don’t you think? The whole intensity of Robusta is refined by these two washes, resulting in a coffee with a rich and creamy texture that releases spicy and toasted notes.
