Tasting Profile
Light Medium Roast
A rich light-medium roast with layered notes of date, red delicious apple, and molasses, complemented by subtle grapefruit acidity. The heritage varietals create exceptional sweetness and complexity that showcases the distinctive character of Chiapas terroir.
Origin & Region
Mexico, Chiapas, La Concordia
Chiapas has a strong culture of organic production and cooperative farming, while also incorporating innovative processing methods and sustainable practices. The region combines environmentally sound, profitable coffee production with protection of important biosphere reserves, creating exceptional quality coffee from smallholder farms.
Altitude & Processing
1,300-1,750 MASL (meters above sea level)
Washed processing method from La Concordia delivers exceptional clarity and structure. The careful fermentation and washing removes the fruit mucilage completely, allowing the inherent sweetness and complexity of the high-altitude beans to shine through, resulting in the clean, bright cup profile with layered fruit and molasses characteristics.
Blend Composition
Bourbon, Typica
The combination of these two heritage varieties creates a well-balanced cup that showcases both the traditional coffee-growing expertise of Chiapas and the unique characteristics that high-altitude cultivation brings to these classic cultivars. Bourbon’s natural sweetness pairs beautifully with Typica’s clean finish, resulting in a coffee that highlights the best of both varieties while maintaining the distinctive profile that makes Chiapas coffees so sought after by specialty roasters.
