In southern Mexico, the state of Oaxaca stands out for its geographical and cultural diversity, making it an ideal location for cultivating high-altitude coffees. The mountains of the Sierra Madre del Sur, especially in areas like Pluma de Hidalgo, combine high altitudes, mineral-rich volcanic soils, and temperate climates, resulting in coffees with a distinctive character and rich aromas.
At Oscura Tentación Coffee, we support local indigenous communities that cultivate coffee in these regions, fostering sustainable and ancestral practices that pass down knowledge from generation to generation. Oaxacan culture is also reflected in traditions like Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead), a celebration that unites history, art, and gastronomy, and which forms part of the legacy of coffee-growing families.
The Oaxacan coffees we’ve selected offer profiles with sweet, citrus notes and hints of cacao, reflecting the richness of the land and the passion of its communities. Each cup transports the drinker to the Sierra Madre del Sur, combining geography, culture, and the dedication of its producers.
