Coffee from Mexico

Mexico - Coffee with History

Mexico ranks among the world's ten largest coffee producers and has a vibrant coffee culture. Most coffees come from smallholder farmers who maintain traditional farming methods.

Growing Regions

Chiapas

Located in the south bordering Guatemala. Volcanic soils and elevations up to 1,800 m produce excellent quality. Chiapas accounts for roughly one-third of Mexican coffee.

Oaxaca (Pluma Hidalgo)

Famous for the legendary Pluma coffee – soft, sweet, and with fine nuttiness. One of the country's oldest growing regions.

Veracruz

Lower elevations along the Gulf of Mexico. Bold, earthy coffees with chocolatey notes.

Flavor Profile

• Chocolate and nut as dominant themes
• Mild, rounded acidity
• Caramel and cinnamon in the finish

Organic Pioneer

Mexico was one of the first countries with organic coffee certification. Many cooperatives in Chiapas and Oaxaca produce exclusively organic coffee.
