Mexico Obata Natural Alejandro Martinez

Story

This a newish varietal that Alejandro planted a few years ago to combat la Roja. And the results are spectacular. This coffee brings the unique and remarkable flavor of Veracruz to your cup. This is NOT a Central American coffee. This is a North American coffee and the results in the cup bear that out. Veracruz is our favorite coffee region in Mexico, and soon it will be yours as well.

We brought in a washed and natural version of this same coffee from Alejandro sho you can taste them side by side. 

The Martinez family has always lived in the Xalapa-Coatepec area in the state of Veracruz. The farm was established by his great- great-grandfather Antonio Martinez. The dream of Alejandro is to revive the coffee culture in Coatepec. He started to plant rust-resistant varieties always separated by plot so that he can compare the results of each plot both in productivity and quality. His coffee has been resulting very well lately, Marsellesa and Mundo Maya represent high quality with consistency for some years, and his first harvests of Anacafe and Obata represented good as well with more unique characters.

The Martinez family has always lived in the Xalapa-Coatepec area in the state of Veracruz. During the first years, they did all the milling within the farm, with machines of British, German, and American origin to achieve the best results in dry and wet milling,

The farm was established by his great- great-grandfather “Antonio Martinez”, then it was taken over by his great- grandfather “Juan E. Martinez”, his grandfather “Juan Jose Martinez” and his father “Juan Jose Martinez” before Alejandro took over it.
