Chiapas Mexican Coffee is a premium Mexican coffee grown in the southern state of Chiapas and features a light, smooth flavor and rich, fresh acidity with a light to medium body. Chiapas benefits from the mixing of the climate of the Pacific Ocean in the west and the Atlantic Ocean in the east. In combination with the slopes of the Sierra Madre mountain range, which divides the state and reaches up to 1,600 meters above sea level near the border with Guatemala, countless microclimates are created where they grow significantly premium and high-quality fair trade coffee.

Flavor profile

Mexico SHG EP Chiapas coffee has a balanced body and is characterized by fruity and nutty notes. The acidity is clear but not too strong and the aroma is soft, fresh with a pleasant finish. At the same time, it has orange undertones related to the region of cultivation, with hints of caramel, cocoa and earthiness. The taste of walnuts resonates together with the other elements long after the drink is finished. During professional training, more experienced coffee drinkers can feel the taste of dry white wine. The caffeine content is lower, thanks to which one can enjoy it even in the later hours.

Cultivation, processing

Mexico as a whole is the eighth largest producer of coffee in the world, with the majority of production grown in the states of Chiapas and Oaxaca. Coffee first came to Mexico in the late 17th century when it was grown on farms owned by Europeans, mostly native Mexican workers. The volcanoes and hot tropical climate provide fertile soil that improves the supply of nutrients to the coffee plants and helps develop their resulting flavor. Quality Chiapas coffee is said to rival the finer Guatemalan coffees in complexity and strength.

In addition to the perfect taste, this type of coffee can also boast the title of Strictly High Grown and European Process. SHG refers to coffee grown at high altitudes, giving it a denser and more vibrant flavor profile than coffee grown at lower altitudes. Higher altitudes provide an environment suitable for Arabica coffee, the climate tends to be cooler with less direct sunlight and plenty of humidity. This causes the coffee fruit to ripen slowly, allowing more time to develop depth and sweetness, as well as many of the other desirable qualities we look for in great specialty coffees. The European Process refers to manual sorting that removes all insufficient grains.

Coffee is mostly grown by farmers who are grouped into cooperatives. When drying, they most often use "wet-processed" - wet drying, it depends on the specific region. The coffee cherries are first swollen, the outer layer of the skin is removed and the bean with the mucilage is allowed to ferment in water for several days, then it is washed. After reaching the optimal humidity, it travels for export. Although this practice is relatively new in Mexican Chiapas coffee, it requires considerable skill and produces some of the highest quality coffees in the world.
