Mexico Organic Chiapas FTO

I am a relatively new roaster, I've tried about 20 or so different beans, and this one was easily the best so far! Got compliments from everyone who tried it, a wonderfully mellow and buttery taste, I am buying more as soon as I post this...

Excellent little bean. Very forgiving for the new roaster. Experimenting with the different roasts is so much fun. Trying to "coax out" the different flavors from this bean is a challenge, but i am getting better at it. Every cup, so far, has been smooth, mellow, and buttery. I could drink this all day long. Love it.

I've had more compliments out of this coffee after roasting than any other kind. Amazing!

Wow! What a great bean. Roasted it dark on open flame. Awesome flavor and really well balanced. I got lots of lemon in my batch not just notes of lemon it was almost as though it was flavored with lemon. Amazingly well balanced. Will be buying again.

Owning a coffee company is quite an adventure, and although this is a nice bean it's not one we would invest in. Definitely a friendly n drinkable cup, no outstanding highlights though. Mexican yesssss, good absolutely but not great either. Thanks we'll keep trying, I've given samples too many customers... I'll be enjoying this at the shop 🤓

I was unimpressed. No nose, not much flavor. I like Tanzania Peaberry much better.

This was my 3rd order of Organic Chiapas (5#, 10# and 25#) so you can guess I'm very pleased with the offering. I'm roasting this pretty dark and getting the chocolate flavors I hope for. We are very pleased with these beans! And re: my Oct review... I still see the need to rest the roasted beans about a week to get the best flavor in the cup.

Very easy to roast. Roasted my coffee beans to a nice city+. Very smooth and taste a hint of cinnamon. A clean cup and a everyday coffee drink

I have been roasting for about 5 years and this continues to be my favorite daily cup-er. <3!

Our favorite daily drinker. Just enough acid to give it life, just sweet enough for richness, nice chocolate and nutty.

This was my first green bean roast. So take my review with that information. I roast on the stove with two spoons and a cast iron pan. The roast lasts 15-18 minutes, on medium heat because I'm in no hurry. I end up with a medium to dark roast that tastes and smells great. I chose this variety of bean because it was inexpensive and didn't want to experiment with expensive beans. Looks like I picked a good bean regardless. I love it !!

I have been persuaded to leave the dark side lol. this beautiful bean may be the one responsible for getting me to like anything not dark and shiny. My first few batches I did in my hot air popper and it just ruined them, either it never got hot enough to finish a roast (with the temperature sensor connected ) or it went too fast to an Italian roast. 😳🥺 So I decided to take some to work (pizza place) and tried the oven there. It has a conveyer belt set at 6min. And 450° which got me to first crack. after pushing them back in a bit they hit second crack and a few were showing signs of oil on the surface so I pulled em ... now that they set for a day I am drinking a beautiful cup of buttery goodness. 👍👍🤜💥🤛 If you haven't tried these beans and have the equipment to control your roast do yourself a favor and get some.

Very nice flavor. New to roasting my own coffee beans, but I am enjoying it. This coffee is fairly priced and was shipped so fast I was surprised how quickly it arrived. Thanks!!

This coffee is one of my favorites. It’s bold and chocolate taste is always the perfect cup in the morning. It’s never bitter. It’s incredibly easy to roast because the beans are small and tight. I get very little chaff off of the beans after roasting. This is a must have coffee in my house.

I was asked to roast and grind some of this coffee for a wedding. It was fantastic!

by Hector on March 20, 2019

I like is good

I brew single cup, drip for each cup I drink. I grind it, measure it, allow it to steep about a minute then filter and drink. This coffee has a very mellow flavor with out a lot of tannin or bitter taste. I enjoy it and many of my friends who only drink fancy coffee-drinks, or who don’t think they like coffee at all like it.

Makes a great cup; beans are earthy and smooth with a hint of chocolate. I roast in my oven; the beans are very uniform in size and are clearly high quality. They are super easy to work with. Beans are fresh and well packaged. Delivery was expedient.

Great "all day" coffee. As others have noted, it is smooth and well-balanced. This is not necessarily my favorite coffee, as I prefer fruitier flavors, however, that is what makes it so good for all day sipping. And, as stated by others, I have received more compliments on this coffee than on any of my others. I find it does better when roasted a bit longer than I normally would. It is at its best right around the start of second crack. It is a good one to roast dark as well if you're into that sort of thing. I try to have a batch that's pretty dark for when my father comes over. In summary, it roasts well, it's a crowd pleaser, and it's hard to go wrong with this bean.
