The Pocitos Farm is a Coffee farm located in the central mountainous region of the state of Veracruz in the municipality of Ixhuacán de los Reyes with a height of 1400 M.S.N.M. and with optimal weather conditions for growing coffee such as abundant rains and a temperate climate of approximately 19-22°c.
The farm has 19 hectares of surface, of which 16 are used for growing coffee and 3 belong to an Oak forest reserve, a tree native to the area.
This farm was designed 8 years ago when coffee planting began with the intention of producing high quality coffee through selection of varieties such as Typica, Geisha and Pacamara which are prepared in different processes for sale.
The coffees obtained from the farm are processed with a water saving system and with separation of cherry and green coffee floats to obtain specialty coffees. The washed coffees are processed in the wet mill and the Naturals and Honeys go through a specific area for processing and drying in African Beds.
In 2018 we participated in the Cup of Excellence with a sample of washed coffee in which we were finalists. Already with the idea of making specialty coffees, we began with analysis work on all our batches, we roasted and tasted all the samples to find out our potential and what we offer to our customers. We take training in roasting and cupping as well as in the preparation of specific batches of Washes, Honeys and Naturals.
Once the coffee is dry, it is packed in jute bags and a GrainPro plastic bag for storage, a representative sample is taken and its sensory analysis is carried out. It is stowed in the warehouse and labeled, weighed and cataloged by type of process and quality for the offer to potential customers.
