It all starts with firewood.
Mesquite firewood from the Sonoran Desert is considered a high-end firewood that produces superior fire quality .
Enhances the flavor of coffee more
This type of wood is hard, dense, with high calorific value and a longer combustion period. This type of heat helps to bring out the best in our coffee beans.
Respect nature
Here at HUUPA® we only use dry tree firewood. We like to think that we are giving mesquite a second life . Because of its quality, we found that very little firewood is required to roast the beans.
It's Authentic
Firewood keeps our culinary traditions alive. Before electricity, before gas, there was firewood. And, as the ethnic groups of the Sonoran Desert say: mesquite has a soul.
Only organic beans from the best coffee-growing mountains in Mexico.
It is very important for us to use the right grain to create a unique transformation when roasted with our mesquite wood.
We seek out and take great care of our relationship with small coffee growers in the mountains of southern Mexico. They have the mastery and tradition inherited through generations.
From them we learned which grains are suitable for processing with mesquite wood and giving them that very HUUPA® flavor.

From each of them we understood their ways of dialoguing with nature, just as we learned to respect the legendary Mezquite firewood .
Finally, the roast that does the magic.
It took us a while to find the right mesquite grains and firewood to create something special . Not all firewood is created equal and not all mesquite firewood is the same. There are levels . Discovering them became our obsession.
Our mission became to transform those elements of nature and create something different, with a unique flavor. We dedicated time, love and effort to finding the roasting process that would best highlight the qualities of a coffee.
Roasting coffee over Sonoran mesquite wood allows for more precise adjustment of heat intensity and duration of exposure to the fire.
The result? The transformation of the coffee beans, with the help of this great fire, into a cup of coffee richer in aromas, textures and flavours.
