The week

For seven days the city is read through coffee. Cafés, producers, walking routes and tastings around one origin.

Every participating café pours a lot from the edition's region during the week. You walk it with the guide in hand, and every stop leaves a stamp. No ticket is needed: the cafés are open to everyone, and the sessions with limited seats are booked one by one.

  • 7days
  • 20cafés
  • 30lots
  • 10farms
  • 1origin

Each lot is one coffee kept separate by plot, variety or process, so a single farm sends several.

Who is making this edition

All the people

Meet the people behind the coffee.

Producers, roasters and baristas are in the city this week. Here is who they are and where to find them.

Ricardo Cortés Nava

My father sold cherry to the middleman. It took me nine years to put my own name on the bag.

Ricardo took over his father's farm in 2014, when leaf rust had wiped out two thirds of the sierra's production and half his neighbors had already switched out of coffee.

What remains · Vol. I · Edition 01

What happens this week is archived. Edition 02 carries it on.

Every edition leaves a record: the lots that were poured, the farms and the notes. The site is not wiped when the week ends; it becomes this edition's archive, and the next one opens on top of it.
