Mexican Coffee Characteristics and Flavor Profile

Mexico, this exotic land, has deserts, blue waters, mountains, huge cities, and small villages. In recent years, the demand for high-quality coffee has greatly increased buyers' interest in Mexican coffee, which has helped elevate Mexico's status from previously being used primarily in blends to producing single-origin and organic specialty products.

Chiapas is an important premium coffee-producing region in Mexico, where most high-quality beans are grown in high-altitude areas. Many high-altitude organic Mexican coffee beans are cultivated by indigenous people. These indigenous communities have established numerous cooperatives to obtain assistance from international organizations, secure better prices, promote advancements in coffee cultivation techniques, and grow coffee using organic farming methods.

Mexico is one of the largest producers of organic certified coffee, with Chiapas in the south being the most important coffee-producing region. Bordering the Guatemalan highlands, it offers an excellent growing environment.

Since 1988, the government has encouraged poor coffee farmers to increase production and expand cultivation areas to increase income by providing simple loans to farmers. Today, Mexican coffee is not only popular in the United States but has also begun to appear worldwide.

Mexico is located at the northern end of Central America, the uppermost edge of the coffee production zone. Mexico's coffee-producing regions extend from Coatepec and Veracruz in the north, to the Pluma coffee from the Oaxaca region in the central area, and to the Chiapas highlands in the south, bordering Guatemala's Huehuetenango region. The vast majority of Mexican coffee is washed Arabica, characterized by a very intense special aroma, somewhat reminiscent of over-fermented fruit. The Chiapas Peaberries from Mexico's southernmost region have a mild, delicate texture and very special aroma.
