Mexican Chiapas SHG "Rancho San Francisco Estate"

This is perhaps one of the most under rated and under valued coffees in Central America! Strictly High Grown with softer beans that develop a bit faster the your roaster, this coffee is grown using a significant amount of shade in tough and mountanous Southern Mexico. The Chiapas area is well suited to produce an almost "Guatemalaesque" coffee, that is: medium body and medium acidity (though not as much as the Guatemala Huehuetenango), with a nice oak woodiness and a hint of spice. It is one of the most versatile coffees around and can be blended, roasted dark or light. And, they look great roasted - BIG! Typica and Bourbon, with a few Caturra trees, this coffee is grown on a 150 hectare estate owned by two brothers, Delmar and Fernando Moreno Guillen. The coffee is wet processed and sun dried, and grown natural and processed without chemical fertilizers (although not certified organic).
