Tasting Notes: Always one of our favorite Mexican coffees. Good from light to dark but our favorite was a medium roast. Medium to full bodied, medium to low acidity. Lighter roasting will promote a sweet citric edge balancing with a bit nutty/woody undertones. Has a hint of caramel after a couple days setup but risks keeping a little woody tone if too light. Medium roasts are pretty bullet proof, full bodied with rich chocolaty notes, a little nuttiness and vanilla like spice in the aftertaste. A clean cup with just a hint of citric crispness upfront. Darker roasts pick up a bit of roastiness but it compliments the very chocolaty profile, thick with no real hints of brightness. A good coffee for stronger chocolate tones at darker roasts.
Roasting Notes:
A nice medium roast is the way to go, can lean it a little lighter or darker depending on personal taste. A little extra setup time makes a noticeable difference to the depth of flavors. Even roasting with medium chaff levels, a lovely bean screen being a reserve grade coffee.
