Mexican Coffee Overview

Located in the northern part of Central America, Mexico is the world's fourth-largest coffee-producing country, primarily cultivating Arabica coffee beans. Due to geographical and weather conditions, currently the most renowned Mexican coffee-producing regions are mostly in the southeastern part of the country, near Guatemala. These include Oaxaca, Coatepec, Veracruz, Chiapas, and Pluma.

Although Mexico is situated at the outer edge of the coffee-growing belt and its coffee flavors are relatively mild, the coffee cultivated in this country still possesses distinctive characteristics and is even considered representative.

Characteristic One: Organic Coffee

Among all coffee production, Arabica coffee accounts for 70%-80%, but it has extremely high requirements for weather and soil conditions, and its resistance to pests is quite poor. Therefore, many countries that primarily grow Arabica coffee use pesticides and fertilizers to improve cultivation success rates.

However, some countries adopt more environmentally friendly organic farming methods. From the moment coffee seeds are buried in the soil, no chemical materials are used - they rely solely on natural conditions for growth. Furthermore, all cultivation and production processes must undergo strict control, supervision, and certification by professional organizations to become truly organic coffee.

It's worth mentioning that the certification process for organic coffee is quite lengthy, taking approximately three years. Therefore, when coffee producers decide to pursue organic certification, it signifies the beginning of a time-consuming and costly investment. Mexico happens to be the world's largest producer of organic coffee.

Characteristic Two: Maragogipe Coffee Beans

In 1870, Maragogipe coffee beans were discovered in the Maragogype region of northeastern Brazil. They are the largest coffee beans among Arabica varieties, basically three times larger than other coffee beans.

In addition, as descendants of Arabica, Maragogipe beans can adapt to lower altitude cultivation environments while maintaining excellent flavor performance. Among these, the Maragogipe beans grown in Mexico and Guatemala, two neighboring countries, are recognized as the highest quality and most representative.

However, most coffee enthusiasts express a particular fondness for Mexican Maragogipe beans. On one hand, these are "naturally grown" organic coffee beans, and on the other hand, Maragogipe beans from Mexico's Liquidambar MS region are also famous for their smooth, mellow, and aromatically enticing口感.

Traditional Mexican Coffee: Café de Olla

Traditional Mexican coffee, Café de olla, gets its name from the traditional clay pot used when brewing coffee. Moreover, many locals believe that only using this clay pot to brew coffee, combined with adding piloncillo (brown sugar cones) and cinnamon sticks for flavoring, represents the most authentic method.

Honestly, the traditional Mexican coffee-making method appears rather bold. Especially in the past, whenever winter arrived in Mexico, people would add large amounts of sugar, entire cinnamon sticks, and tequila to Café de olla for warmth.

But now Mexican coffee has also been improved and become one of the specialty coffee varieties. If you're a coffee enthusiast, you might want to learn the preparation method:

1. Heat one cup of milk, one teaspoon of cinnamon powder, and one teaspoon of vanilla powder in a pot.
2. Stir evenly, then add cocoa powder until it dissolves again.
3. When the milk mixture has cooled, you can pour it into the prepared black coffee.
4. Finally, garnish with a cinnamon stick, sprinkle some cinnamon powder, and your Mexican coffee is ready.
