Now Ensambles is working to bring the producers to organic certification. The first producers achieved \u003cstrong\u003eorganic certification\u003c\/strong\u003e in spring 2025. The current roasted coffee is not yet organic certified. In 2024, we founded a \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMicrobeneficio\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/em\u003ewith the producers, Ensambles, and our friends at Black Hen Roastery and set it up as a \u003cstrong\u003eco-investment\u003c\/strong\u003e. The Microbeneficio is a coffee processing facility. The producers built it and now operate it themselves. Now they can also offer the processing service to other producers in the region and diversify their activities.

The area around the Apixtepec community, where the producers live, is often shrouded in rain clouds that are pushed inland from the Atlantic. It is often cool, and the coffees ripen slowly. This slow growth gives the coffee its complexity, a \u003cstrong\u003ecitrusy-delicate acidity\u003c\/strong\u003e and a \u003cstrong\u003ehigh base sweetness\u003c\/strong\u003e.

With 15 minutes of roasting time, the coffee is one of our \u003cstrong\u003elongest roasts\u003c\/strong\u003e. This emphasizes the more classic notes like rock sugar. The development time is 15%. We start with a \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eSoak\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e, so we keep the gas at minimum for 1 minute before increasing to 70% power. After that we let the coffee and the roaster do their own work and only intervene again at 10 minutes, gradually reducing the gas.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eShipping also available as Coffee Mail\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAll our coffees can be ordered in the form of Coffee Mail.
