2025 Paxtle - Mexico

This regional blend from the Sierra Mazateca is composed of the highest-scoring lots that were too small to export individually. It comes from a producing group called Paxtle, based in San Mateo on the western side of the valley. In the cup we find a classic Mexican profile of baking chocolate, fresh strawberry, and honey.

The 2025 Paxtle from Mexico represents a distinct offering from the Sierra Mazateca region, produced by Paxtle and roasted by Sey Coffee. This lot is characterized by a flavor profile featuring baking chocolate, fresh strawberry, and honey. When evaluating such profiles, enthusiasts often consult a flavor wheel to better articulate the interplay between the sweetness of honey and the nuanced fruit acidity found in high-quality Mexican coffees.

While specific processing methods can significantly influence the final cup, coffees from this region are often noted for their balanced structure. The combination of deep, cocoa-toned base notes and bright, berry-like top notes provides a versatile experience for the palate. As with many selections from this producer, the focus remains on highlighting the inherent characteristics of the harvest. This entry serves as a reference for those exploring the evolving landscape of Mexican specialty coffee and the specific output of the Paxtle project.
