Why light roast? Well, because we’d hate to rob you of the complex, rich and layered experience this coffee offers. Light roasted beans are known to taste more natural, and, in this case, the pleasant, fruity freshness is too good to be roasted away. If you pay really close attention, you can even subtly taste apricots.
Origins
Chiapas is a region found in the very south of Mexico. It borders directly with Guatemala, so it's not surprising that it shares many similarities with it. Coffee from both countries is mild, fruity and slightly nutty. Its cultivation in the hilly terrain also has similar characteristics.
Each cup of fragrant coffee could tell its own unique story. The small farmers who farm the slopes of the Sierra Madre de Chiapas (Cordillera Central) have to face not only a rapidly changing climate but also an unstable social situation. Farmers from the Mexico Chiapas region usually organize themselves into cooperatives.
This helps them to buy land and invest in technology. Most often they grow Arabica, in the case of this coffee, the Caturra variety, a mutation of Bourbon. It has high production and high quality. However, it requires extremely careful treatment and fertile soil.
Mexico Chiapas has been grown without the use of fertilizers or treatment products. The harvest takes place from September to January. The coffee cherries are processed by washing and the beans are then dried and sorted.
Mexico is the 5th largest coffee producer in the world. The Chiapas region, with its humid tropical climate, has been settled by many European farmers. We can find Germans, French and Italians amongst these farmers. The third generation of modern coffee farmers numbers 80 families.
Benefits of coffee
Coffee packaging preview
Our quality aluminum packaging lacks any bold graphics, as we’d rather focus on the taste of our coffee. It always comes fresh thanks to degassing valve, which releases the gases that occur after roasting. Thanks to the hermetic seal, this container helps the contents further keep their freshness and protect them against humidity, light or foreign odors.
