Organic Mexico Chiapas Coffee, Mellow Acidity – Ithaca Coffee, 2 lb & 5 lb
Organic Mexico Chiapas from family farms of the Cooperativa de produccion Tzeltal-Tzotzil: caramel and milk chocolate with a fleeting touch of fruit, a rich medium body thanks to very mellow acidity, and a sweet, lingering brandy-like finish. Sold in 2 lb and 5 lb bags.
This coffee is grown in the highlands of southern Mexico on the border with Guatemala, on land that borders the El Triunfo Biosphere Reserve. The co-op's family-owned farms are mostly under ten acres and produce honey as well as coffee.
Producers depulp, ferment and dry their coffee with farm-owned micro mills, and Ithaca says they focus on organic production methods to protect the environment, raise quality and earn higher income for their families.
