Mexico Chiapas Sierra Mariscal

The Sierra Mariscal region is right up against the Guatemalan border, both positioned in the Sierra Madre de Chiapas mountain range and benefiting from the range of altitude, micro-climates, and nutrient rich volcanic soil. Within Sierra Mariscal is the town of Motozintla, which is where this coffee is from. It comes to us by way of a group of small producers in Motozintla, most who have gone through the process of organic certification (though this coffee is not certified). The coffee farms are at 1500 meters above sea level on average and you still see a lot of Typica planted on coffee farms, along with Bourbon, Caturra and Catuaí. We found this coffee checked off boxes for chocolate bittersweets, body and nutty roast tones. It's a coffee that pairs well with milk, but certainly satisfies 'solo' too as a chocolatey-rich, morning brew.
