In our roastery
We look for coffees from Mexico to be an offering with great crowd appeal and comforting familiarity. This coffee hits that mark and has extra dynamic range to branch into lighter roast levels, where we find complex acidity and sweetness. After years of enjoying wild anaerobic naturals and honey processed coffees, balanced washed offerings from Mexico just feel like home
In your lineup
In this green, lighter roasts showcase a unique and complex cup, while medium to dark roasts reveal rich sweetness and comfort in the cup. This coffee makes for a great drip candidate and would work great as a blender at an approachable price point. The flexibility of this coffee makes it a winner for us, providing an accessible flavor for most customers, including the coffee connoisseur.
