Mexico Los Abuelitos

The name means "Grandparents," a nod to the ancestors who were growing coffee in Puebla long before specialty coffee gained global attention. While Veracruz, Chiapas, and Oaxaca have historically dominated Mexican coffee, Puebla is earning its place, producing cups with delicate acidity, layered sweetness, and a comforting profile.

In the cup: butterscotch opens warm and familiar, green apple brings a crisp, fresh lift through the middle, and cacao settles in for a steady, comforting finish. Simmer it with cinnamon and piloncillo for a Café de Olla that's hard to argue with. A coffee for the enthusiast and the grandparent alike.

Cat & Cloud Coffee presents Mexico Los Abuelitos, a coffee from Puebla that bridges sweet and bright sensory territory. The roaster identifies butterscotch and cacao notes—flavors often associated with roast development and cocoa-forward bean character—alongside a crisp green apple note that suggests underlying acidity. This combination points toward a coffee balancing richness with liveliness, where deeper caramel sweetness plays against the snap of fruit-forward brightness.
