Coffee Description
Colder weather was inevitable. The best we can do is complement the season with an equally inevitable good time. The new Finca Muxbal Mexico is basically Autumn, liquified. Prepare yourself for an overwhelming sense of 'I'm so cozy, right now'. We taste grandma's fresh baked apples, warm sweet tea, and a touch of plum acidity. If you're still reading this, you've waited too long. You want (and need) this.

About Finca Muxbal Local Farmers of Mexico
Introducing a brand new coffee from a mountaintop coffee farm located in Unión Juárez, Finca Muxbal (pronounced moo-BALL) is named for a Mayan phrase meaning "place surrounded by clouds." The farm is located on a plateau at 1,560 MASL at the foot of Tacan á Volcano, bordering Guatemala. Half of the farm is planted coffee, while the other half of the property is protected ecological reserve of rainforested land that has been Rainforest Alliance certified since 2006.
The farm, which is owned by Maeggi Rodriguez and operated by her sons Jorge and Juan Pablo, is a progressive farm that implements both new coffee farming strategies and socially responsible programs. A school on the property is open to the children of all workers, even seasonal harvest workers. All farm workers are given food and residence on the property.

Indie Coffee Roasters
At Indie Coffee Roasters, we’re motivated by coffee, community, and collaboration. We take great pride in every aspect of our work, from the biggest to the smallest details. Our team is more than a group of employees, we’re like family, and we work together toward a common goal: making Indie Coffee Roasters the best it can be.
When it comes to creating great coffee, each step of the supply chain matters. We consider every aspect of our coffee selections, including questions you might never think to ask like: What kind of soil did this coffee grow in? How was it harvested and processed? What is the climate like where this coffee was farmed? Many people focus primarily on the final step--How was the coffee roasted? How should it be brewed?--and those are equally important questions, but there is so much more to it than that!
Of course, the roasting process is incredibly important too, and some of the most important work we do. We consider our roasting process to be a perfect blend of art and science as we roast with precision to capture the flavors in each of our carefully-sourced coffees.
In addition to bringing great coffee to our community, building relationships is at the core of who we are. We work directly with coffee producers whenever possible and ensure that our coffee sourcing is transparent and beneficial for every person in the supply chain. We love to celebrate our coffee producers as we wouldn’t be here without them. Whether we’re connecting with our regulars who frequent our coffee shop locations and wholesale partners who serve our coffee from their own locations or learning all we can about our amazing coffee producers all around the world, from start to finish, coffee is all about community.
