Medium-Dark Roast

A very interesting SHG (Strictly High Grown at 1,500 mslm) Washed coffee in the mountains of Chiapas, the Southernmost coffee region in Mexico, sharing a border with Guatemala to the west and Oaxaca to the East, where an ideal climate and altitude create the perfect conditions for mild and sweet coffee.

The Guillen Family, a third generation coffee farmers, utilizes a significant amount of natural shade trees, growing and processing their Bourbon and Typica beans naturally and without chemical fertilizers.

Mexico Chiapas coffee is extremely smooth, easy to drink and never becomes bitter. The dark roast profile serves to accentuate the nut notes, while still retaining an overall balanced profile. The nutty taste can be identified specifically as roasted cashews. Hints of brown sugar contribute to a background sweetness, and a crisp, citrus-toned acidity adds a layer of complexity to this cup. This coffee distinguished from many other Mexican coffees in the body department. While a light, even delicate body is fairly typical of Mexican coffees, this one offers more body, with an almost syrupy mouthfeel to it. If you're looking to get into Mexican coffee, we highly recommend Chiapas beans!

Notes in the Cup: very versatile delicious medium body and medium acidity coffee, presents a pronounced lemon sweetness, with a slight smokey almond taste, vanilla and and a hint of peach.
