The story behind Carlos Cadena - Mexico

This is Swerl Coffee Roasters' first coffee from Mexico – a clear proof of the country's potential in modern specialty coffee production. The coffee is produced by Carlos Cadena, a fifth-generation coffee grower in Cosautlán, Veracruz. His family's history with coffee goes back to the 1890s, when his great-great-grandfather processed coffee cherries in simple wooden tubs.

After an attack of coffee rust in the region around 2013–2014, the Cadena family had to rethink their approach. Together with his father, Carlos began exploring more scientifically grounded cultivation and processing methods. The result was higher quality, better yield, and a clear focus on specialty coffee.

Carlos is driven by curiosity and precision. He cups coffee daily and already in 2018 began separating lots by variety and process to understand how each variable affects the taste. His work has brought international recognition: third place in Cup of Excellence Mexico 2023 and first place in the experimental category at the 2024 auction.

Sustainability is a natural part of his work. Through composting of the fruit pulp, reuse of leftover material, and his own systems for water recycling, Carlos combines quality with long-term responsibility for the environment.

Coffee's process

1. Origin & producer

The coffee is grown by Carlos Cadena in Cosautlán, Veracruz, at about 1,400 meters above sea level. The region offers a warm but balanced climate well suited for fruit-driven coffees.

2. Process

The coffee is natural-processed, meaning the berries are dried whole with the fruit flesh intact. This gives an intense fruitiness, deep sweetness, and a clear berry character in the cup.

3. Brewing

Roasted for filter brewing. Excellent for hand brewers like V60 and Kalita, where the coffee’s berry notes, cocoa, and balanced acidity are fully expressed.
