Mexico produces a diverse variety of premium coffees, ranging from lighter-bodied, delicate qualities to sweeter coffees with caramel or chocolate notes. These unique flavors are created by many different microclimates with varied rainfall patterns and rich soils that exist across the country. Most of its coffee production is shade-grown Arabica, with Robusta making up only around 4% of the country's total crop. Coffee is generally grown in 3 main coffee regions: Chiapas, Oaxaca, and Veracruz.

This coffee comes from the Union region of Chiapas and was produced by Muxbal Estate, a family farm located right at the border with Guatemala. The Sierra Madre mountain range goes through it and provides rich volcanic soils and high altitudes, ideal for coffee production. The farm has around 230 hectares of land, half of which is planted with coffee. The other half is a protected ecological reserve full of rainforest, flora, and fauna.

The farm is managed by Maeggi Rodriguez and her family, who have a big focus on protecting their natural surroundings and managing the farm implementing respectful environmental practices. Shade-grown and naturally processed, this coffee features a citric and smooth cup boasting tropical flavors of mango, cherries, and molasses.

Mexico is filled with contrasting landscapes and rich traditions. You can explore large deserts, snow-capped mountains, cloud forests as well as breathtaking coastlines. Because of its central location close to both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, Mexico provides perfect conditions for coffee cultivation. The main coffee growing regions in Mexico are Chiapas, Veracruz, Oaxaca and Puebla. Due to the different regions, Mexican coffee has a wide variety of flavors.

When it comes to high-quality coffees, Mexico is often overlooked, although it has much to offer. Coffee first arrived in the country in the late 1700s. For a long time, coffee production was dominated by a few landowners. After the Mexican revolution in the 1920s, the land was redistributed to the indigenous people, breaking up many large haciendas. Since then, coffee has mostly been cultivated by smallholder farmers on a few hectares each.

In the 1970s, coffee was finally recognized as an important export good that supported rural development. Over the following decades, the Mexican government started to heavily promote coffee production. By 1990, Mexico had risen to the fourth-largest producer in the world. Back then, coffee was an essential pillar of the national economy. Unfortunately, this development ended shortly after due to the 'coffee crisis' in the 90s, leading to a drastic decline in production and quality.

Over the years, the farmers started working together and formed cooperatives to recover from the crisis. The cooperatives provided technical assistance, training, and support in marketing and financial matters to their members. Moreover, they supported indigenous producers and encouraged sustainable coffee production.

Today, much of Mexico's coffee is exported to the United States. We are happy to offer you some of the finest Mexican lots in our onlineshop.
