According to James Kosalos of San Cristobal Coffees, the cup profiles of the Nayarita region are unique. “We still have the old Typicas here so we get big beans, and all of these coffees are sweet, you get citrus and maybe some lemon, honey, floral and sometimes even they’ve got some chocolate in it.” Kosalos, a Greek-American geo-physician, originally began building sonar systems for underwater mapping (which he still does today). Using this knowledge, Kosalos has designed a system capable of tracking specific lots directly from the farm to the patio and all the way through to the seller. This unique system ensures the customer has full traceability of the lot being purchased.
