The owl (el buho) has a special meaning in Mayan culture. They believe that she can charm the person she looks at - open her eyes and look into her soul.

 

It is also believed that the Nahuales - wizards who can change into animals, were enchanted by owls in such a way as to guard their people and care for their culture and beliefs. Owls are also considered to be animals that lead people to paradise after death.

 

The trademark of our April coffee is just such an owl in the Alebrijes style. Alebrijes are bright, colorful Mexican folk art sculptures depicting fantastical creatures.

 

The Los Altos farm is located in the north-eastern part of Mexico. The region is characterized by a variety of terrain, cultural richness and amazing cuisine. There are also countless varieties of plants that, thanks to fertile soils, have excellent conditions for development. The area is overgrown with primeval forests surrounding the Lacandona jungle, which was the habitat of the Maya. Coffee from Los Altos grows in the shade of trees native to Mexico. Farmers do not use any pesticides in order not to pollute the atmosphere, which also translates into the quality of the coffee itself.

 

Our beans have been washed, so the infusion made of them will be light and clean in taste. At first, we are captivated by the aroma of the grain itself - the combination of sweetness and herbal aroma can turn your head around. In the taste, however, one can clearly feel the wine apple seasoned with expressive notes of verbena and the pleasant sweetness of dried fig.
