The Origins of Mexican Coffee: Veracruz Robusta and Chiapas Arabica

Mexico is a land rich in tradition and culture, and coffee is one of its finest agricultural treasures.
Two of the most renowned regions for coffee cultivation are Veracruz, known for its intense and full-bodied Robusta, and Chiapas, home to a prized and aromatic Arabica.
 
Veracruz – The Bold Character of Robusta
Located on Mexico’s eastern coast overlooking the Gulf, Veracruz boasts a humid tropical climate and fertile volcanic soils—ideal for growing Robusta coffee.
This variety is known for its high caffeine content, fuller body, and bold flavour, with notes of dark chocolate, dried fruit, and a subtle spicy finish.
Veracruz Robusta is appreciated for its natural creaminess and intensity, making it perfect for blends with a strong and persistent character.
 
Chiapas – The Elegance of Arabica
To the south, bordering Guatemala, lies Chiapas—one of Mexico’s premier regions for producing high-quality Arabica coffee.
With elevations exceeding 1,200 meters, a cool climate, and abundant rainfall, the region provides the ideal environment for the slow maturation of coffee cherries.
The result is a delicate yet complex Arabica, offering a refined aromatic profile with notes of cocoa, tropical fruit, and a balanced acidity that adds freshness to the palate.
