The state of Veracruz situated along the shores of Mexico’s Gulf coast produces about a quarter of the country’s coffee. Veracruz’s topography climbs steeply from the coastal plains into an elevated mountainous terrain that provides ideal growing conditions for arabica coffee beans. The coffee from this region is known for its distinct combination of being smooth and full-bodied, with a balanced acidity that carries undertones of nut and chocolate in its flavors. The nutrient-rich, dark volcanic soils of this region imbue their influence into the taste of this region’s coffee. This coffee is grown by small producers in the region. Their coffees are hand-pulped and fermented in little tanks before being sun-dried.
In the cup, expect taste notes of milk chocolate, citrus, dried fruit, and fresh herbs in the aftertaste.
This is a very well-priced delicious coffee from an uncommon (to the Philippine market) growing region that we are so excited to share with you!
