A mother, Q-grader and farm manager: Mexican coffee producer Marisol Ramirez Serrano is every woman, so its clear why Girls Who Grind want to shout about her coffee.  

After learning the art of coffee cultivation from her father, Marisol manages Finca El Plátano in Chocamán, Veracruz, where she combines coffee-growing tradition with sustainable techniques including using worm compost as a fertiliser. Veracruz benefits from a more moderate climate than elsewhere in Mexico, allowing Marisol to produce exceptional natural process coffee beans like these. The state also has the best infrastructure and technology of Mexico’s coffee growing regions, with more controlled farming measures and disease-resistant varieties in place to combat the challenges posed by climate change. 

One of our favourite crowd-pleasing coffees from last year, this year's harvest is every bit as sweet and nutty as the last, ideal for a super consistent and rich espresso or an all day drinking filter.
