A friend just emailed me to order a pound of one of her (and my!) favorite coffees.  It’s a single-origin bean from the southernmost state of Mexico, called “Chiapas.”  If you drink brewed coffee, this bean with a light roast from AWC, is the perfect cool-weather companion!

Several factors make the Chiapas area an ideal coffee-growing region.  It’s a humid, tropical climate with nearly 120 inches of rainfall annually.  It contains several parallel mountain ranges that create a foggy, temperate covering sometimes called the “cloud forrest” effect.

What does this all mean for the coffee?

The Mexico Chiapas glides onto the taste-buds with an amazingly smooth sweetness.  You get hints of brown sugar on the mid-palate, balanced by a medium-acidity.  Best part of the Chiapas for the cold winter months ahead:  the long, subtle chocolate finish!  Even though we like it black, this brew combines well with milk and is a great option for a new coffee drinker.
