Mexico Chiapas Organic Fair Trade
Chiapas is a city in the southern portion of Mexico, relatively close to Guatemala. Traditionally the coffee from Chiapas region is quite mild and possesses a sweetness that you can enjoy all day.
Light roasts will accent the acidity and produce crisp citrus flavors. Full city roasts develop a richer body and mellow the acidity leaving a lingering lemon citrus. Most will find the darker full city roast more enjoyable, since it produces the best combination of acidity and body.
