Mexico Rancho Francisco

Grown by third-generation farmers Delmar and Fernando Moreno Guillen on their family estate in the mountains of Chiapas, this lot has been quietly one of the best kept secrets in Central American coffee for over two decades. The farm sits close to the Guatemala border and leans heavily on shade trees, and while it isn't certified organic, it's grown without chemical fertilizers the old fashioned way.

In the cup you get a chocolatey almond aroma up front, with cacao and almond carrying through into a slight floral note, caramel sweetness, and a refined, well balanced acidity. Medium body, medium acidity, a little oaky nuttiness with just a hint of spice. It's not far off from a Guatemala Huehuetenango, just a touch softer and more approachable. You can choose between medium and medium dark depending on if you want a little more roast character. Both are great!
