JOE PAGAC COLLABORATION SERIES

Since 2011, Yellow Brick Coffee has celebrated coffee producing communities around the globe by sharing stories of its producers and uniquely roasting its coffees. By teaming up with Joe Pagac for this limited release, we are proud to honor our local community as well. Joe Pagac is a local painter and sculptor whose colorful murals liven up buildings and streets all over Tucson. We hope you enjoy this celebration of community and collaboration as much as we do.

THE ORIGIN STORY

Finca Nueva Linda is a specialty-coffee estate managed by producer Juan Jose Moguel. It is located in the Sierra Madre mountains of southern Mexico, in the state of Chiapas. The farm shares a buffer with the Triunfo Biosphere Reserve, a 50,000-acre tropical cloud forest which helps to temper a changing climate and provide rich soil and clean water. El Triunfo Biosphere Reserve is one of the world’s most diverse forest reserves. This reserve contains Mesoamerica’s largest continuous cloud forest, and it serves as a refuge to thousands of plant and animal species. El Triunfo is a rare and valuable sanctuary, which requires continued protection.

Don Juan Jose depulps his coffee at Nueva Linda, uses demucilaging machines to remove the fruit and sugar, washes in clean water, and dries in the sun on patios
