Mexico / Mundo Maya
Regular price
$24.00
An experienced Cup of Excellence competitor and past winner, Carlos loves to experiment with post-harvest processing and new varietals to push the flavor envelope. His Mundo Maya explodes with flavors of plum, brown sugar and cloves with a boozy sweetness that goes down easy. Like the vibe of a cool summer night, we roast this bean with a light touch to keep things fresh.
The Cadena family may have been growing coffee in Veracruz since the 1890's, but young Carlos has his sights set firmly on the future. After an outbreak of leaf rust in 2013-2014 that decimated much of their crop, Carlos and his father embraced a scientific approach to agronomy and new varietals like this one. Mundo Maya is a first-generation "F1" hybrid, combining strong rust resistance with high quality and yield, and well adapted to agroforestry.

New Varietals
These newly developed hybrid strains have been carefully bred to deliver excellent cup quality alongside greater resilience to droughts, heavy rains, higher temperatures, pests and diseases.
Existing Arabica varietals can’t tolerate the shift to hotter, drier weather that many traditional coffee-producing areas are experiencing. Buying these special coffees builds market demand, providing farmers with the security they need to make the investment.
Air Roasted to Perfection
We use 100% electric, clean air roasting for our coffees.
Air roasting works by suspending the beans in a column of hot air, allowing them to roast more evenly and consistently without picking up unwanted flavors or defects that can happen with drum roasters. Our roasters are designed to produce safe, low-temperature, clean exhaust without filters, catalyzers or afterburners.
Altogether, this means that we can roast clean-tasting coffees more consistently using less energy and with lower emissions than conventional methods.
Circular Packaging
Our coffee cans are manufactured in the USA from 100% domestically sourced steel.
Why steel? Unlike plastic and paper, it's infinitely recyclable and is recovered at a higher rate (72%) than any other food packaging material. It's also the ideal barrier for keeping oxygen, moisture and light away from the beans inside. This, plus an integrated valve, means our coffee stays fresher longer.
