MEXICO CHIAPAS ALTURA SUPERIOR

• Milk Chocolate
• Almond
• Brown Sugar
• Citrus

Chiapas Altura Superior SHG EP is a regional lot sourced from the highlands of Altos, Chiapas, one of Mexico’s most celebrated coffee-growing regions. This lot brings together coffees from various smallholder producers, including area farmers like Mario Santiz Lopez of Finca Vista Hermosa. Working on small family farms throughout the region, these producers cultivate coffee in the rich volcanic soils and cool mountain climate that have made Chiapas a cornerstone of Mexican specialty coffee production. This coffee is classified as Altura Superior SHG EP, designations that reflect Mexico's quality-focused grading system. SHG, or Strictly High Grown, indicates that the coffee was cultivated at high elevations where cooler temperatures slow cherry development, contributing to greater density and complexity in the bean. EP, which stands for European Preparation, signifies that the coffee has been carefully sorted to remove defects and provide a more consistent cup profile. Together, these grades represent some of the highest-quality coffees produced in Mexico. The cup profile highlights everything coffee lovers have come to expect from a classic Chiapas offering. Notes of milk chocolate, almond, brown sugar, and citrus create a balanced and approachable cup with comforting sweetness, nutty undertones, and a bright, refreshing finish.
