Mexico is one of the largest producers of certified organic coffees, and because of the close proximity to the U.S., we receive the bulk of fine Mexican coffees in this market. Mexican coffees are worth exploring for the variety of cup characteristics they present, and their great price.
Mexican coffees are generally moderately-priced, light-bodied, and wide-ranging in their cup character. For this reason, we’re advised to explore coffee selections from each of the regions to get a good sense of the possibilities of Mexican coffee.
