Regular price $20.00AVAILABLE ONLINE AND IN STORE
Coffee first arrived in Mexico as early 1785, but only gained widespread popularity amongst farmers in the 1970s when the government started investing in the industry. Unfortunately the support did not last long and the Mexican Coffee Institute collapsed in 1989, leading to a drop in both quality and quantity of coffee produced.
However, some producers in the face of adversity came together and formed collectives to strengthen and protect their livelihoods and continued to grow and deliver good coffee. The main growing regions are Chiapas, Oaxaca, and Veracruz.
Our coffee this month comes from the Chiapas region, located in the southern region of the country bordering Guatemala. The mountainous highlands provides the right altitude, as well as rich volcanic soil to allow for the production of good coffee.
In this washed lot, we get notes of brown sugar and chocolate, with a crisp juicy mouthfeel, all in a light-medium body cup of coffee.
As our #dYScover beans are roasted specially, and separately from the rest of our offerings, we only have limited quantities per month! If you have ever thought or wondered about specialty coffee from Mexico, do make sure you give this a try soon!
There are so many different types of coffee grown in various regions of the world, with each region tasting very distinct from one another.
#dYScover, by Yong Seng Coffee, is our attempt at letting you experience high quality/specialty coffee from the various coffee-producing regions of the world. Read more about specialty coffee here!
