Mexico Organic Chiapas

by Steve Porter on May 4, 2021

I slow roast with a showtime electric roaster,55 minutes. Smooth and rich not acidy at all. If I light roast it is a little butter scotch in flavor.

I mixed these with the robusta beans that are also from the Chiapas Mountains of southern Mexico at a ratio of 1:1, and then roasted them for six minutes at 180 followed by six minutes at 215, and then finished up with five minutes at 240 to produce a nice medium-dark roast. With my little countertop JMS-270, that means that about 60% of them came out true medium-dark, 20% came out medium, and 20% came out dark. Now here's the important part: let these beans degas for three or four days before brewing. The result is a coffee blend that is smooth and rich (arabica) but also bold (robusta), and with one helluva strong caffeine kick. I've been selling 1-lb bags of the stuff like crazy at a competitive price under the name "Aztec Thunder - Pharmaceutical Grade."

It's okay if I'm looking for a darker cup or as a base. I use it as a 50/50 with a sweet coffee for a nice french press cup.

My wife loves Mexican home roast. This offering roasts very easily in the Gene to city + . Mellow, soft on the palate, hints of milk chocolate, roasted nuts and fresh baked bread.

I veinna roasted this and espresso ground it then rubbed it into steak. The flavor was amazing. This created a nutty smokey, lightly chocolate addition to the steak.

This organic Chiapas has turned out to be my best purchase this year. Very pleased with the flavor. Moisture content seems to be a little high at nearly 17% weight loss. I'm guessing that's what I'm seeing as some unexpected variations in roast profile. I've been taking the roast to several seconds into 2C and am happy with the end result, but it takes a little patience: the roasted beans have taken at least 7 days of rest. During that time oil starts to appear on the bean surface continuing to increase each day- that seems to coincide with the arrival of the flavors I enjoy. Very, very happy with the results as are the folks I've shared this with.

One of my favorite varieties. I roast just to 2nd crack. I'm not good at cupping reviews.

This is my everyday coffee. I basically use this for drip everyday coffee and then I will also flavor some for my family. This is really good, I like to roast it medium.

I enjoy this very much .Thank you

I bought this for two reasons. One as a comparison to some of the African beans I’ve been buying. The second, and you’re gonma freak, as a cheap coffee to be flavored for my wife. By itself, tastes like an inexpensive coffee that I know most of my friends are accustomed to. Not subtle, not smooth, little u dertones. As a coffee to flavor, it works well

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.

This is my favorite bean! I was so excited to find such a good price for an organic bean too. This bean is still delightful if you accidentally over or under roast a bit. It's smooth and creamy, with a bit of chocolate aftertaste. Shipping was incredibly fast.

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 have ordered Chiapas coffee the last 3 times, previously under the user name xxxxxxx@live.com. The beans I received this time were decidedly different that the Chiapas I had ordered previously. The beans were 20% smaller and took a full 2 minutes more to roast and the taste is different. What's up? As stated, the beans I last received were different from previous Chiapas orders.

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

by FeyWatcher on April 9, 2019

This is a great bean. I generally like dark Medium roasts and light Dark roasts. This bean has a great range! I personally liked the Organic FTO just a little bit more than the regular. The organic seems smoother to me.

I like is good

by Chickie on March 1, 2019

Smoothe buttery, chocolatey, nutty flavor. Lots of precious oil in this bean. Organically grown has the richest flavor. Roast til very dark and shiny (or a bitter taste dominates) and only roast as much as you’ll use in a few days. The oils taste freshest right after roasting. Great price too.

Roasted this to a dark roast and it produced a good cup of coffee but was a bit "dirty" tasting. I agree this is a good bean for a new roaster because it seems to produce a pretty cup regardless of the roast and also seems to roast a bit quicker for the impatient!

by Adam C on October 10, 2018

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.

I am not very knowledgeable of coffees, yet. I try out beans based on your description. I am not disappointed by this Mexican Organic Chiapas. I would recommend to friends, I brewed a smooth, enjoyable cup.

by David Eckerman on April 13, 2018

As goes with Mexican coffee it is not the worlds most carefully processed coffee, but with some amount of self sorting and poor quality bean removal this coffee can be a very bright flavorful cup.

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...
