Nougat sweetness, cocoa and a lift of citrus zest: our Mexico Bella Vista is a fully washed coffee from the Mayan Harvest Women’s Group in Chiapas.
The women behind the coffee
In the mountainous community of Bella Vista, more than 200 women plant, prepare and harvest their own coffee. Mayan Harvest Coffee connects their work, with Rosalba Cifuentes advocating for the quality of their coffee and the role of women as coffee growers.
The farms sit among highland forests at 1,550–1,850 meters above sea level. Farming and harvest work take place across steep, remote terrain, where cherries may travel by mule or on a producer’s shoulder to collection points.
From Bella Vista to the cup
This lot brings together Typica, Bourbon and Caturra. After harvest, cherries are sorted to remove damaged or defective fruit and washed with fresh mountain water. The fully washed process gives us a clean, balanced foundation for the flavors we love in this coffee.
Our recommendation: brew it as espresso
Espresso is our recommended starting point for Bella Vista. If you prefer pour over or drip, you can enjoy it that way too. Find our espresso, pour-over and drip recipes on the product page.
What you’ll taste
Our roast brings forward nougat, cocoa and citrus zest. Expect comforting sweetness with a bright lift, a cup that invites you to slow down and notice the work behind it.
