Mexican Chiapas is my go-to bean for great taste, right after roasting, or especially after sitting for a day or more so that the oil appears on the beans. I prefer a darker roast.
CBC has also been great- I have been a customer since 2008. Customer service is SOLID.
Thank you CBC.

I've been using this since I bought my HopTop roaster (couple of month now). Haven't tasted other beans better than this one.
Until 2 weeks ago I used to wait for about 2 min and 30 seconds after first crack, but 2 weeks ago I roasted 2 minutes and 45 seconds after first crack and it was great! I wish I tried it long time ago :-)
Note that it didn't taste good after a day, I needed to wait about 4 days. The beans had an oily coating.
Unfortunately I can't share the artisan roasting profile that I used, but if anybody wants feel free to contact me: [email protected] and I can send it.

This is our go too breakfast cup that never disappoints.My wife loves Mexican home roast. This offering roasts very easily in the Gene to city + . Mellow, soft on the palate, hints of milk chocolate, roasted nuts and fresh baked bread.

I roasted 5lbs of this for a wedding reception and it was a huge hit! Some of the guests are still asking about getting some for home.

Out of the many varieties of coffee beans I enjoy these have become some of my favorites. Roasted to a City+ I'm getting chocolate notes, smooth balanced flavor and a great mouthfeel.

I think this is something like my eighth order Organic Chiapas and every bag has been excellent. This batch seems to have more chaff but in all other regards it roasts like the previous deliveries. Excellent in the cup with nice chocolate flavor when taken to the start of 2nd crack. I'm hooked on this coffee!

I didn't get a aroma cloud from the grinder like the Organic Honduras, yirgacheffe etc. And the mouth roll was ehh. I was surprised. I had it in the past and liked it but its been a while. Oaxaca was a little better.

We came upon Chiapas beans many years ago in Berkeley CA when Blue Bottle was a scrappy little company selling small bags of it to a couple of local restaurants. Sunday meant 8 o’clock yoga on 4th Street followed by a Mexican breakfast at Tacubaya across the street, accompanied by one off lattes with Chiapas beans. Time moved on and we moved across the country but had Blue Bottle ship us their roasted beans. Then they dropped it. We tried other versions and enjoyed them, then made the decision to roast our own. These beans don’t need to be roasted as dark some others and provide round and complex notes of chocolate and fruit with a pleasant richness or body. Best with steamed or foamed milk, in our opinion. Still one of our favorites and now we’re roasting the beans ourselves for maximum freshness.

I slow roast with a showtime electric roaster,55 minutes. Smooth and rich not acidy at all. If I light roast it is a little butter scotch in flavor.

This is a great roast with a very smooth and bold taste to it. Not very sweet as other coffees but very good base coffee for blends.

I mixed these with the robusta beans that are also from the Chiapas Mountains of southern Mexico at a ratio of 1:1, and then roasted them for six minutes at 180 followed by six minutes at 215, and then finished up with five minutes at 240 to produce a nice medium-dark roast. With my little countertop JMS-270, that means that about 60% of them came out true medium-dark, 20% came out medium, and 20% came out dark.
Now here's the important part: let these beans degas for three or four days before brewing. The result is a coffee blend that is smooth and rich (arabica) but also bold (robusta), and with one helluva strong caffeine kick. I've been selling 1-lb bags of the stuff like crazy at a competitive price under the name "Aztec Thunder - Pharmaceutical Grade."

I light roast these beans. They make very smooth coffee with a nice nutty after taste.

It's okay if I'm looking for a darker cup or as a base. I use it as a 50/50 with a sweet coffee for a nice french press cup.

The Mexico Chiapas consistently yields a smooth, rich brew from a medium roast with light husks.

This is the only one out of 4 that’s been roasted and tasted, and the taste was great.
My only complaint is there were quite a few bad beans and the way they are shipped does nothing to protect the beans.

I veinna roasted this and espresso ground it then rubbed it into steak. The flavor was amazing. This created a nutty smokey, lightly chocolate addition to the steak.

This was my 3rd order of Organic Chiapas (5#, 10# and 25#) so you can guess I'm very pleased with the offering. I'm roasting this pretty dark and getting the chocolate flavors I hope for. We are very pleased with these beans!
And re: my Oct review... I still see the need to rest the roasted beans about a week to get the best flavor in the cup.

This organic Chiapas has turned out to be my best purchase this year. Very pleased with the flavor. Moisture content seems to be a little high at nearly 17% weight loss. I'm guessing that's what I'm seeing as some unexpected variations in roast profile.
I've been taking the roast to several seconds into 2C and am happy with the end result, but it takes a little patience: the roasted beans have taken at least 7 days of rest. During that time oil starts to appear on the bean surface continuing to increase each day- that seems to coincide with the arrival of the flavors I enjoy.
Very, very happy with the results as are the folks I've shared this with.

Very easy to roast. Roasted my coffee beans to a nice city+. Very smooth and taste a hint of cinnamon. A clean cup and a everyday coffee drink

One of my favorite varieties. I roast just to 2nd crack. I'm not good at cupping reviews.

This is my everyday coffee. I basically use this for drip everyday coffee and then I will also flavor some for my family. This is really good, I like to roast it medium.

Our favorite daily drinker. Just enough acid to give it life, just sweet enough for richness, nice chocolate and nutty.
