About this coffee
Blackcurrant, milk chocolate, tropical. A coffee that will cover both espresso and filter brewing.
Monte Alban is a thousand-year-old Zapotec ruin visible from the coffee farms nestled in the mountains around the site. Located near the city of Oaxaca, a renowned culinary destination in Mexico, the area's food culture has been influenced and perfected by its long and complex history.
Monte Alban was one of the earliest major urban centers of the Mesoamerican classical period, reaching its peak between 200-600 AD before declining around 800 AD. The Zapotecs, an advanced ancient civilization, made significant advancements in astronomy, writing, and medicine. After their mysterious departure, the site was used by other groups, including the Mixtecs, who recognized its spiritual significance and used it for burials.
