arms in Oaxaca, Mexico tend to be small in size, allowing producers to personally oversee the harvesting and processing. This hands-on approach has empowered quality-focused producers to transition from anonymity to selling micro-lots, adding value to their coffee and gaining recognition for their efforts.
Typica was historically one of the most important Arabica varieties in Oaxaca. At its best Typica is one of the most refined and balanced Arabicas. As a variety it is adaptable to many different roast styles, from light to dark, fast to slow. Throughout retains delicacy and nuance, a positive, honeyed sweetness and fully creamy texture. Despite lower productivity, Typica proves advantageous for quality-focused producers, adding value over and above poorer quality high yielding cultivars. This is very much the case of El Sauce, owned by Juan Flores. Juan grows only Typica variety on his 2-hectare farm, named after the willow shade trees on the farm that keep the coffee plants protected from the high midday sun and support local wildlife. His commitment to Oaxaca’s coffee heritage and in this instance processing his coffee with a traditional washed process showcases the very best of Mexican Typica.
A rich brown roast character brought about by a fuller medium dark roast sits as a foundation to El Sauce’s flavour profile. Roasted almond and rich dark chocolate meld with juicy, low level lime acidity. Dried fruit notes of cranberry and raisin add complexity, along with hints of sweet nougat. A creamy, rounded mouthfeel enhances the chocolate depth, making El Sauce particularly well-suited for espresso, French press, or Moka pot brewing.
