Partners Coffee, the Brooklyn-based roaster, has put a new small lot from Oaxaca, Mexico, in the spotlight with a Partner Story titled "Mexico - Ozolotepec (2026)." The coffee comes from San Francisco Ozolotepec, a remote community in the Sierra Sur, where oak, pine and fir forests are often wrapped in fog.
Five neighboring smallholders contributed to the lot, organized by Francisco Cortez, a former teacher. Each farms roughly 1.5 to 2 hectares of Typica, Caturra and Oro Azteca, a hybrid bred in Mexico as protection against coffee leaf rust. The coffee is washed, fermented for 12 to 24 hours, and dried on patios, in as little as five days. Partners sourced it through Red Fox Coffee Merchants, which keeps a permanent presence in Oaxaca.
In the cup, expect milk chocolate, red apple and caramel from a medium-light roast, grown at about 1,800 meters. The post doesn't list a price, and the coffee can be ordered through the Partners Coffee website.
