Mexican Green Coffee Beans Vs. Hawaiian Green Coffee Beans
Coffee from North America is grown in only two regions – Mexico and Hawaii. Hawaiian coffee, especially Kona coffee, is renowned for its unique flavor profiles, but Mexican coffee has its own delicious flavors. We think everyone should try both Hawaiian and Mexican coffees. But if you have to choose one, how do you decide?
Green Coffee from Mexico
Mexican coffee has a rich history. For decades, Mexican farmers have relied on the coffee industry for steady income. In our guide, we dive deep into the history of Mexican coffee. If you’re interested, you should take a look! For now, let’s focus on the beans, themselves.
Mexican green coffee beans produce a light-bodied and flavorful coffee, thanks to mineral-dense soil. You’ll notice mild notes of jasmine, bergamot, lemongrass, and vanilla. Most Mexican coffees also have a pleasant dryness accompanied by a forward acidity.
If you love making coffee with the French Press, Mexican green coffee beans are perfect for you. They also make a refreshing cold brew to help get you through the summer heat.
Green Coffee from Hawaii
Hawaiian coffee beans are the only coffee grown in the United States. As a major tourist destination, Hawaii’s coffee industry caters to visitors, which often results in very high prices. Buying unroasted coffee beans is a great way to enjoy Hawaiian coffee without the hefty price tag.
Kona coffee, grown on the Big Island, is the most well-known. Its complex flavors come from the high elevations and diverse micro-climates on the island. Many love the Kona’s mellow flavor profile that’s delicately balanced with a silky body, fruity undertones, and notes of chocolate.
It's worth noting that Hawaiian coffee farmers are some of the best treated in the industry. As part of the U.S., workers receive fair wages and good working conditions.
