DESCRIPTION

Latin (medium-dark)
Coffee beans are roasted medium-dark for a mix of standard coffee flavor with hints of bold. This Latin American Blend features variable coffee beans blended from Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, Guatemala, Bolivia, Dominican Republic, Honduras, El Salvador and Costa Rica.

Latin American coffee refers to coffee beans that are grown in countries located in Central and South America, including Colombia, Brazil, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Mexico, Peru, and many others. These countries are known for producing high-quality coffee with distinctive flavor profiles.

Latin American coffees are typically grown in mountainous regions with fertile volcanic soil and a tropical climate, which provide ideal growing conditions for coffee trees. The coffee beans from these regions are often classified as “Arabica” beans, which are known for their delicate flavor, lower caffeine content, and higher acidity.

The flavor profile of Latin American coffees can vary depending on the specific country and region of origin. Colombian coffee, for example, is known for its well-balanced flavor with notes of caramel and chocolate, while Brazilian coffee tends to have a nutty and sweet flavor with low acidity. Costa Rican coffee is often described as having a bright, fruity flavor with a hint of citrus, while Guatemalan coffee is known for its complex, spicy flavor with notes of chocolate and caramel.

Many coffee roasters and enthusiasts appreciate Latin American coffee for its nuanced flavor profiles and high quality. In addition, the coffee industry is an important source of income for many countries in the region, and the production of coffee is often deeply ingrained in the cultural and social fabric of these communities.

A medium-dark roast of select Latin American coffees perfectly blended for full flavor, offering nutty hints with mild fruity tones and a gentle cocoa aftertaste. Shade grown in the Central American rain forests and in volcanic soil near the Amazon rain forest, these blended coffees make a rich, delicious cup. Environmentally friendly washed processing and full sun dried for up to 7 days.
