Description
These beans from the southern states of Chiapas and Oaxaca, Mexico, where there are mountain ranges that provide higher altitudes and ideal climates for cultivating coffee. The vast majority of farms are family-owned with less than 10 acres of land. The coffee harvest typically begins in October and ends in March.
Tasting Notes: A great daily drinker! Very nice and chocolaty cup of coffee. A little hint of acidity at the lighter roast points but cups out very clean, one can tell this is nice high altitude coffee. If you roast it a little closer to 2nd crack it will develop a medium body and far reduced acidity but doesn’t loose it sweeter edge. A couple pops into 2nd crack produced still very clear and smooth chocolaty tones without adding much for roasty notes.
Roasting Notes: This cup will mostly appeal to medium and dark roast fans. Although clean enough for a jazzy light roast, the weaker chocolaty notes do not leave the cup super distinctive. Medium roasts really bring forth the nice chocolaty factor and its accentuated even more into the darker roasts.

Really loved this coffee. Roasted slightly into 2nd crack. Falls into chocolaty, maybe a little butterscotch flavor area ( to my untrained palate). Maybe not as well screened as some, we pitched quite a few bad beans (think like India MNEB).
Currently out of stock, or we’d buy more. There’s a similar Mexico from the same region & the same tasting notes, if you want to try that version.
