About This Coffee

Mexico's Chiapas state, bordering Guatemala, produces a significant amount of the country's coffee, often grown by smallholder farmers in high-altitude, shaded conditions. 'Turquesa' often designates a quality grade known for its balanced profile. Typically washed, these coffees offer a smooth, medium body with approachable flavors of milk chocolate and walnut. A mild, pleasant acidity reminiscent of green apple provides brightness, often accompanied by a subtle hint of spice like cinnamon. It's a versatile coffee, great for drip or immersion brewing.
