Honey-sweet flavor, walnut, marzipan aroma, banana, cocoa, nuts, with a mild aftertaste, light and smooth texture.

Located in North America, Mexico has a diverse climate and is the world's fourteenth-largest country and the fourth-largest coffee producer, with an annual coffee production of about 5 million bags. Most of its coffee is produced by nearly 100,000 small-scale farmers, as the large estates that once dominated the coffee industry are now rare. Mexico's coffee yield per hectare is about 630 kilograms. It is said that Mexican coffee was first introduced in the late 18th century when a Spaniard transplanted coffee trees from the West Indies to Nayarit in central-western Mexico. Coffee cultivation in Nayarit has exceeded 150 years, with a French immigrant family beginning cultivation in 1860. Coffee here is grown at altitudes of 1200-1500 meters. These mountains are mostly volcanic areas, with soil composed of volcanic ash. The high altitude and fertile volcanic soil nurture coffee beans with a smooth texture and moderate acidity.

It is said that Mexican coffee was first introduced in the late 18th century when a Spaniard brought coffee trees from the West Indies to Mexico. Excellent Mexican coffee offers a comfortable mouthfeel, mellow flavor, moderate acidity, gentle refinement, and pleasant aroma. Mexico has 12 major coffee-producing regions, with Nayarit located in central-western Mexico, near the Pacific Ocean. Coffee cultivation in Nayarit has exceeded 150 years, with a French immigrant family beginning cultivation in 1860. Coffee here is grown at altitudes of 1200-1500 meters. These mountains are mostly volcanic areas, with soil composed of volcanic ash. The high altitude and fertile volcanic soil nurture coffee beans with a smooth texture and moderate acidity. Nayarit is one of Mexico's 12 major coffee-producing regions.

The coastal windward side of Nayarit is influenced by the northeast monsoon. Due to abundant rainfall, fertile volcanic soil, and plentiful water resources, this batch of Nayarit's Mi Cielito estate natural coffee is carefully processed using the natural method, preserving the most original aroma and flavor of the raw beans.

Mexico is also one of the largest producers of organic certified coffee. Due to geographical factors, most coffee is sold to the United States. The country's coffee industry began in the 19th century, with mainly Arabica varieties cultivated. Over two million Mexicans rely on coffee for their livelihood. 75% of Mexico's small coffee farmers cultivate coffee on land smaller than two hectares. These small farmers produce about 30% of the country's coffee annually, while the remainder is produced by large or more productive farms.

Mexican coffee has a mild flavor, somewhat similar to Guatemalan Huehuetenango highland coffee - gentle, moderately saturated with delicate aromas, but with less noticeable acidity, matching the taste preferences of many people.
