Mexico Custapec - Rainforest Alliance

Mexico produces large quantities of sound but somewhat unremarkable coffee, most of which is good fit conscious blending and dark roasting. Good, "high-grown" or Altura coffees, such as this one, from mexico are light bodied and nutty. The better examples have a milk chocolate like tang and delicacy. Small amounts of world-class coffee with much greater acidity and flavor intensity are produced in the mountains of Oaxaca, Veracruz and Chiapas. Some of the best small farm coffees incidentally, are also certified organically grown.

A medium-light bodied, well balanced coffee. in the region of Sierra Madre de Chiapa (very Southern part of Mexico). Grown under the canopy of shade trees, allowing dozens of bird species to exist in their natural habitat. This is a Rainforest Alliance Certified coffee.

Cupping Notes: Roasted almonds and Oak. Moderate sweetness with pleasant aftertaste.

Roasting Notes: Light to medium is where we like it, however they are a dense bean and hold up well to dark roasts, if one is so inclined.

Note: these are un roasted green coffee beans
