Trader Joe’s ORGANIC MEXICO CHIAPAS Coffee

“MEDIUM ROAST – With notes of milk chocolate and stone fruits”

100% Arabica. Whole Beans. Organic.

NEW ITEM!

Trader Joe’s has come out with this new coffee. Chiapas is the most southern part of Mexico, and has the Sierra Madre mountains. These beans are grown high up there between 4,000 and 6,000 feet. The beans in this a grown by “a collective of nearly 2,000 small farmers.”

This is not a Small Lot but Trader Joe’s says this coffee captures the spirit of their Small Lot coffees. They managed to find enough supply to have this on a regular basis.

“… thanks to our longstanding relationships with some exceptional growers, we’ve been able to secure a supply of Trader Joe’s Organic Mexico Chiapas Whole Bean Coffee large enough to offer every day. It captures the spirit of our Small Lot releases—high-quality, single-origin craftsmanship—only this time, it’s here to stay.”

I really really liked this. This is an excellent coffee. High quality indeed. These beans smelled great upon opening the bag. Ground up fresh the coffee smells even better.

ROAST – You can never count on when TJ’s says Light or Medium. This bag says “Medium Roast”. However to me it’s a bit darker. I might say a dark medium or a light dark roast? As you can see the beans are just a tiny bit shiny. So I might say dark medium but not at all over roasted. Perfect for these beans.

This made a wonderfully flavorful cup of coffee, which they describe as “with notes of milk chocolate and stone fruit”. I made it in my MOKA POT but it should work for any brewing method.

For me, this is a keeper and I would not mind another bag at all.

I would buy it again.
