Coffee was first introduced to Mexico in the late 1700s. Today, the country grows the
crop across 16 states, although most production is concentrated in the south.
Chiapas, Oaxaca, and Veracruz are the major coffee regions, in which a diverse
variety of premium coffees is produced, ranging from lighter-bodied, delicate
qualities to sweeter coffees with caramel or chocolate notes. These unique flavors
are created by many different micro-climates with varied rainfall patterns and rich
soils that exist across the country. Furthermore, Mexico is also one of the world’s
largest exporters of organic coffees.
Through Las Hortensias, we wish to portray the potential of organic
coffees from Mexico. This washed selection comes from Motozintla, the capital city
of Sierra Mariscal in Chiapas, nestled right on the Guatemalan border.
Chiapas dominates coffee production in Mexico, at 40% of the country’s total yield.
Coffee here is grown between 1,300 and 1,700 masl and benefits from the range of
altitude, micro-climates, and rich volcanic soils. Typically, you can find a balanced
flavor profile, characterized by notes of chocolate, caramel, and citrus.
We are happy to offer you this fine cup and invite you to discover it too!
