Mexico Chiapas Fair Trade Organic

With mild to medium body and acidity, this balanced organic coffee from the Chiapas region has a smooth finish and notes of bakers chocolate and brown sugar. Fruty hints of lime, raisin and grape.

The first coffee plants were probably brought to Mexico around 1785, most likely from Cuba or what is now the Dominican Republic. There are reports of plantations in the region of Veracruz in 1790.

However, due to the wealth earned from Mexico’s rich minerals deposits, for many years there was little drive behind energizing and creating a coffee industry.

Mexico produces quite a range of coffees across its regions, from lighter-bodied, delicate coffees through to sweeter coffees with caramel, toffee or chocolate flavours in the cup.
