We’re excited to serve our first Oaxacan coffee at Elm: Familia Garcia Lopez. This washed coffee comes to us tasting of lemon, wildflower honey and pastry. Like many Mexican coffees, it pairs wonderfully with food.

The Garcia family grows on a 20 hectare farm just outside San Agustin Loxicha, a community growing coffee known for its malic apple and pear notes. They supplement their coffee growing with avocado trees (their farm is named El Aguacate) and blacksmithing. The family all works together on the farm, with the sons Omar and Gerson taking leadership in coffee production, contributing agronomic knowledge and advancing their processing techniques to increase both quality and sustainability.
