Mexico | El Triunfo

What this coffee feels like? 

It’s Sunday evening. You had a piece of fresh, juicy pear after lunch and now it’s time to have a bowl of popcorn and watch your favourite Quentin Tarantino movie. Before you go to bed you’ll treat yourself with a snickers bar. And do it all again on Monday.

Thanks to our friends at Cafe Imports and Omar Herrera, first ever Mexican coffee just landed in our selection. It’s been a few months since we first cupped this lot in World of Coffee in Geneva and now we’re finally ready to ship it out for you to enjoy.

Their Regional Select program was created to highlight the unique profiles they have found that are inherent to various microclimates in many of the countries from which they source green coffee. Local variables like wind patterns, soil quality, sunlight, elevation, and other environmental influencers have much to do with the common characteristics that separate, say, a Northern Colombian from a Southern Colombian coffee, just as they inform the differences between a Colombian and a Kenyan. This is why these coffees aren’t traceable to a single producer or a farm, instead it’s traceable to a region. 

Puebla is a small but diverse and volcanic region in Eastern Mexico. The cooler temperatures and impressive elevation create a microclimate suited to coffee production. Puebla hasn't received notoriety for its coffee historically, but in recent years, we've noticed stand-out microlots from the region. There are many small producers in Puebla that have yet to be recognized for their quality cultivation and harvesting of predominately heirloom varieties. This is the first Mexican lot we stock at kava family and we love it for it’s well rounded, approachable flavour profile and great consistency.

This coffee has a profile that is sweet and medium bodied, with flavours of milk chocolate, peanuts, popcorn and pear. It’s perfect for espresso and coffees served with milk.
