Organic Mexico Zaragoza – Counter Culture February 27, 2009
Coffee from Mexico? Yeah, I was pretty shocked too. Guess it shows you how much I know about single origin coffee. Zaragoza is a small mountain city just east of Acapulco, outside of Oaxaca. They’re on a similar longitude as Guatemala, so the location is right for growing beans.
This coffee had a strange burnt/smoky flavor when brewed through a drip. I wasn’t quite ready for that, neither was the wife. Using a press pot though, you can taste the nice mellow tones, a spicy chocolate of sorts. There’s a fruity something, not as strong at the Yirgacheffe I wasn’t a fan of, much more muted.
I doubt I’d get this coffee again, there’s just so many other good ones to choose from. There’s nothing distinct for me to bring this to the top of a list, it’s just a good, normal coffee.
