Mexico HG Mono Loco Chiapas - Medium Roast
The coffee we source from Chiapas (the southernmost state of Mexico) is an essential component in several of our roasts. This particular lot is is a sweet, bright, and complex cup profile from small producers in Chimhucum in the highlands that perfectly demonstrates what we love about coffee from this region. The coffee is shade grown in the mountains of Los Altos, leading to a slow maturation of the cherry that results in a bright and flavorful cup.
The community are members of the Tzotzil indigenous group (direct descendants from the Maya Empire) who use artisanal processing methods like hand pulping coffee cherry, using wooden fermentation tanks, and slow sun drying on patios. Their coffee results in unique flavors due to a semi-washed process and only 6-12 hours of fermentation.
Notes of Plum,Honey, and Cinnamon, with medium acidity and above average body and sweetness.

This lot comes to us from the Agropecuaria de Los Altos de Chiapas. This specialty coffee cooperative, founded in 2010, has 1320 members from 61 villages and 13 municipalities throughout the state of Chiapas. Agropecuaria de Los Altos de Chiapas strives to improve the income of small specialty coffee producer families through fair trade. They also focus on organic production to benefit the health of their specialty coffee producer members and their consumers. The southernmost state of Chiapas, Mexico is home to Mayan ruins, dense rainforests, and rugged mountain ranges. Due to the high altitude and tropical climate, Chiapas is ideal for specialty coffee production, and produces 60% of Mexico’s total coffee output.
