Pluma Altura is one of the most renowned classifications of coffee in Mexico. Grown by a group of small Oaxacan farms, Tres Oros (three gold stars) is the mill name given to this coffee. Oaxaca is a beautiful region of Mexico, with a rich heritage of Zapotec, Mixtec, and other native cultures.

Cupping this coffee is delightful, there's a bright fresh nose to the cup, lots of cherry to the aroma. My first sip is bright and spicy, with a good snap and a clean finish. It's the fresh clean aroma and taste of coffee cherry that distinguishes this cup and it's clean, light golden brown liqueur, subtle maple and black tea syrup. True to it's origin, this is a lighter coffee with a sweet spice. If you like a golden coffee, you'll love the Mexican Decaf from Pluma Altura!
