Insight from our Master Coffee
Importer
Mexican coffees are light to
medium body with mild acidity and
balanced, with delicate fruit and
spice overtones. Mexican coffee is
moderately priced and thus very
popular in blends and as a
flavoring base. But don't let this
make you think that Mexican coffee
does not stand on its own as good
coffee!
Oaxaca on the southern Mexican
Pacific coast produces some
wonderful medium body coffees with
milk chocolate and almond flavors
coming through in the finish.
These delicate well-balanced
coffees can compare with certain
Island coffees in the cup. (Though
this would make some of these
Island fans blanch, it can be true
in an exceptional cup)
Chiapas, the tropical jungle that
is the most southern eastern part
of Mexico, borders with Guatemala.
Chiapas is the coffee little
brother of Guatemala's Hue Hue
Tenango region, and this comes
through in the cup. Chiapian
coffees are brighter, sweeter,
with a definite clove spice to
compliment the apricot fruit that
is in the cup. We love this area,
and have recently purchased the
entire crop from a few limited
fincas (farms) that were
outstanding on the cupping table.
After waking at the farm,
listening to the waterfall, and
walking among the trees, we had to
re-cup this coffee back at home
just to be sure the wonderful
surroundings did not cloud our
view.
