LUCHA LIBRE - THE RADICAL RISTRETTO OF MEXICO

World class, this pithy cuvée. A "Gaucho", matured in old Bordeaux barrels. The best Arabicas from Finca Hamburgo, cultivated by Thomas Edelmann. He has added a quantum of sweetness to the noble Catuai coffee cherries and increased their aroma immeasurably. Finally, we mix the tart Old Paradema, Canephora, into the coffee - from the tradition-rich Badra Estate in India. This makes Lucha Libre the true coffee for real men - like a dose of testosterone.

Finca Hamburgo, Mexico

In 1888, Arthur Edelmann from Perleberg accepted the Mexican government's invitation to create jobs in the Soconusco area. He built the Finca Hamburgo, which was taken over by his son Harald after his death in 1933. He continued to expand the farm and built the first cable car in Chiapas in 1939. After Harald Edelmann's death in 1976, the farm was continued by his son Eberhard Edelmann Dopp, who went through a difficult time for the farm due to the coffee crisis. Today, the farm is run by Tomas Edelmann Blass, who produces the finest coffees with fresh citrus tones in washed preparation.

Badra Estates were established by the Mammen family in 1936 and have continued in the family ever since. The farms are located in Chickmagalur on the Bababudan Giri hills, the birthplace of coffee in India, where the first coffee plants reached India in 1670. Besides coffee, the plantations also produce pepper, cocoa, arecanut, cardamom, rubber and teak. Most of the coffees are processed in washed form. Natural and pulped natural coffees are also produced. All coffee is grown under shade trees.
