Mexico Rainforest Alliance Strictly High Grown Kassandra Single Origin Coffee
A Mexican gem with smooth chocolate, ripe cherry sweetness, and a nutty finish that’s as elegant as it is complex. Di Bartoli is proud to introduce a specialty Mexican coffee with a cupping score of 84+. The Mexico MX RFA Strictly High Grown Kassandra SPC offers a refined balance of ripe cherry, dark chocolate, and toasted hazelnut notes, delivering an elegant and complex cup. This bean is a true expression of the Rivas family’s dedication to quality and sustainability, and we can’t wait for you to experience it in your own home barista setup. Finca Kassandra, located in Córdoba, Veracruz, has been producing estate-quality coffee since 1990. Originally a cattle station, the farm was transformed by the Rivas family into a thriving coffee estate, complete with its own dry mill by 2003. The family’s commitment goes far beyond coffee - 27 hectares of rainforest have been set aside for local birds and wildlife, alongside an extensive tree-planting program designed to support both biodiversity and the coffee ecosystem. Their meticulous approach of handpicking ripe cherries, careful processing, and state-of-the-art grading shines through in every cup. Di Bartoli recommends brewing this coffee either as a pourover filter (using 15g water at 92–94°C for every 1g medium ground coffee) or espresso (18–20g dry coffee in, approx. 40–45mL out at 92–94°C). While best appreciated black to highlight its complexity, this coffee also pairs beautifully with milk for a richer chocolate-hazelnut profile.
