About the Producers
Apolinar Hernández is a coffee grower from the localidad of San Pedro el Alto, located in southern Oaxaca, near the coast, in the Sierra Sur region. He is part of the Union San Pedro grower’s association, which is managed by Salomon Garcia, and made up of several other sub-associations from eight communities within San Pedro el Alto.
Processing
He has been with Union San Pedro for a couple of years now. His washed coffees have always performed well in regional blends. This year, Apolinar’s had a very good harvest, and he’s seen how his continued effort to fertilize with organic composts and compost teas has improved the nutrition—you can see it in the caramelization on the roasted beans. This year, Apolinar experimented with both washed and natural lots, and both yielded great results. Osito is very fortunate to be able to offer both lots to our North American market.
