When people list famous coffee origins, Mexico is often left out. Yet it has a lot to offer: distinctive and fruity profiles, a positive social and environmental impact, and a rich coffee-producing heritage.

 

These fine Mexican coffees, which often approach or exceed the definition of a gourmet coffee, are known for having light body and acidity, often with a nutty flavor, perhaps with chocolaty overtones. The finest Mexican coffees have a delicate body with an acidy snap and very pleasant dryness like a fine white wine.

These characteristics will vary by region and the varietals grown within the region, but when looking at the market as a whole these flavors tend to show up time after time in cupping reviews.

Remember that fresh grinding whole coffee beans (preferably fresh roasted) will help you better taste the flavors that were locked away in the bean - buying pre-ground coffee is a sure way to get a generic, tasteless cup of coffee.

Growing on inland mountains at 1,100–1600 m.a.s.l., Veracruz’ finest coffees have notes of “light red fruits, blueberries, caramel, panela, and are delicate with a bright acidity, and very juicy with a sweet and sour aftertaste”. 

Nestled on the Guatemalan border, you’ll find the state’s best coffees growing between 1,300 and 1,700 m.a.s.l. Chiapas also holds the crown for producing the most coffee in Mexico, at 40% of the country’s total yield. You will taste notes of chocolate, bitters, nuts, citrus, and lemon, along with a round and lasting body. 

Oaxaca borders the bottom of Veracruz and the top of Chiapas, while the Pacific Ocean sits to its west. Its coffee farms are generally between 900 and 1,650 m.a.s.l. Oaxacan coffees are both distinctive and in high demand. They tend to be sweet with caramel overtones, notes of yellow fruits, orange acidity, a creamy body, and floral hints.
