From the producer

Mother Tongue identifies siblings Givette and Ernesto Perez as the fourth generation of a Veracruz coffee estate and mill family. Directly related APG lot documentation says the family works with partnering farms in Veracruz, separates lots and provides technical support; the contributing farms for Mother Tongue’s exact release are not individually named.

From the roaster

Mother Tongue describes the cup as tasting like “grandma’s strawberry candies” and identifies the coffee as a natural-process Veracruz lot from Givette and Ernesto Perez.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

A Veracruz natural tied to a producer family using lot separation to develop more distinct specialty lots, with an unusually concise strawberry-candy flavor marker from the roaster.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

Source and sort

Mother Tongue ties the release to Givette and Ernesto Perez in Veracruz. Directly related APG lot documentation describes cherry sorting and flotation at the family’s wet mill, but the contributing farms are not named on the exact roaster page.

Natural process

The exact Mother Tongue listing identifies the coffee as natural processed. Directly related APG documentation describes whole cherries dried on raised beds for 15–20 days.

Mill and prepare

Related APG documentation says dried coffee is stored in GrainPro cocoons before preparation at the family’s dry mill. Mother Tongue does not publish an exact lot-specific storage duration.

What was added?

No adjuncts are disclosed.

What wasn't added?

The available exact and directly related sources do not disclose fruit, spices, flavorings or inoculated cultures.

Why it matters

The natural process keeps the seed inside the fruit through drying, a route often used to emphasize fruit character. Mother Tongue does not publish an exact fermentation duration.

What you might taste

Mother Tongue’s published expectation is strawberry candy; this is not a site tasting claim.
