Region: Soconusco, Chiapas, Mexico
Farm: Marcos Solís
Process: Washed
Variety: Pink Bourbon
Altitude: 1,500 - 1,700 MASL
We Taste: Red Apple, Clementine, Pinot Grigio. Juicy Body, Medium Acidity
Size: 10 oz.
Nestled between Sierra Madre de Chiapas and the Pacific Ocean, Soconusco has been cultivating coffee since the 1890s under the Porfiro Díaz regime. As a part of an agreement with Germany, 450 families were brought to Soconusco from Europe to establish coffee plantations in a de facto colony built on cash crop export—the exploitative conditions of which were a contributing factor to the largely farmworker-led Mexican Revolution of 1910. Today, there remain estates in the region with German names like Finca Hamburgo.
More locally, “Cacahoatan” means “place of the peanut” in Nahuatl language; it is the wettest city in Mexico with 177.2 inches (or 4,504 mm) of rain per year on average. Coffee producers in the area focus on sustainable and ethical cultivation practices in general, as a means to support both the local environment and economy, investing care and growth in the community.
This coffee is cultivated with that mutual aid attitude, and purchased directly from Marcos Solis by Equation, then in turn by Sum, Coffee Project New York’s green buyer. A showcase of the local flavor profile, this washed Pink Bourbon is roasted to highlight brightness and its citric side: we taste notes of red apple, clementine, and pinot grigio.
