A large number of cooperative growers, over 260 growers farming 650 hectares, working togerther. Nearly all of these cooperative growers are clustered around an extinct volcano, Cerro San Juan, located immediately to the west of Tepic, the capital of Nayarit.
The special characteristics of volcanic soil type and microclimate lend to the bright, floral and citrusy flavors. Good body and balance work together to produce a superb cup. Great for relaxing with all day.
