Our certified organic Mexico Chiapas Aguila comes from the southernmost region in Mexico, sharing a border with Guatemala to the west, and Oaxaca to the east. These organic coffees are produced mainly in the highlands of Motozintla & Soconusco area and are sourced exclusively from farmers who belong to well established cooperatives and are certified by OCIA (USA) & IMO/Naturland (Germany) among others. Our organic Mexico Chiapas Aguila is washed and patio dried and cups with notes of dark chocolate, caramel, a nice floral aroma, good acidity and a full body.
Nutmeg and jasmine aroma. Notes of dark chocolate, caramel, lemongrass and orange with vibrant acidity and a creamy body.
The mountainous highlands of Chiapas provide an ideal climate in terms of temperature and humidity for arabica cultivation; it’s also home to some breathtaking vistas and numerous ancient Mayan archeological sites. Coffee in this region is cultivated by smallholders, often descendants of the indigenous tribes who plant, harvest and prepare the coffee themselves by hand, sparing no effort to obtain a product which makes them proud. In turn we’re very excited to have this organic Mexico Chiapas Aguila to offer to our roasters.
The Soconusco region of Chiapas is known for being the most productive region of Mexico when it comes to cultivating coffee—much of this is due to the growers ability to use a natural forest canopy that is prevalent throughout the region, providing natural shade for the coffee trees. Mexico as a whole is the world’s 8th largest producer of coffee, with the majority of production occurring in Chiapas and Oaxaca. Interestingly coffee was first brought to the Veracruz region of Mexico in 1970 from Cuba..
