Mexico Mafafas
Mafafas is a town in the municipality of Tepetlán in Veracruz, Mexico. It’s located at 1350 meters above sea level and is made up of small "ejidos," towns made up of 30-50 people. Mafafas has a unique microclimate. In a matter of minutes it can shift from moderate heat to intense cold due to the altitude and northern winds. These drastic changes mean that producers have to adapt their farms with a specific array of shade trees and companion crops depending on their specific farm conditions.
As in all of Veracruz, the producers harvest the coffee in cherry. It’s then transported to the central processing plant in Coatepec (about 2 hours away). Most farms in Mafafas have access to roads, so they can use cars or trucks rather than mules.
Expect some chocolate notes up front making way for apple like flavors in the cooling cup.
Flavors remind us of Chocolate, toasted marshmallow, and honey-crisp apple.
