MEXICO | Santuario Ixhuatlan | Bourbon | Red Honey

About This Coffee

This lot comes from the Santuario Ixhuatlán Processing Centre in Mexico and is produced by Camilo Merizalde. It is Red Bourbon variety processed as a Red Honey—cherries are pulped, fermented in mossto (crushed cherry juice) and dried on raised beds. The mossto fermentation yields a very sweet, fruity profile with tasting notes of stone fruit, honey and milk chocolate.

Proud Mary Coffee

Nolan and Shari Hirte opened Proud Mary in Collingwood in 2009. A trip along the American west coast had shown him what specialty coffee could be and he returned to Melbourne determined to bring that approach to a country that was, at the time, an espresso nation. Nolan first attended Cup of Excellence in 2011; since then, Proud Mary staff have served on international juries for over a decade. Proud Mary became one of Melbourne's first roasters to champion filter coffee and single-origin brewing. The roastery categorizes its offerings along a Mild-to-Wild spectrum. Their Ghost Rider blend, a natural-processed combination of Brazilian and Ethiopian coffees, is award-winning. A second roasting operation now runs from Portland, Oregon, supplying American wholesale accounts and retail customers with locally roasted beans.
