Mexico Organic Mocabe HG Chiapas Mexico: Organic Mocabe HG, Chiapas

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.

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.

Excellent little bean. Very forgiving for the new roaster. Experimenting with the different roasts is so much fun. Trying to "coax out" the different flavors from this bean is a challenge, but i am getting better at it. Every cup, so far, has been smooth, mellow, and buttery. I could drink this all day long. Love it.

I've had more compliments out of this coffee after roasting than any other kind. Amazing!

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

This is a great bean. I generally like dark Medium roasts and light Dark roasts. This bean has a great range! I personally liked the Organic FTO just a little bit more than the regular. The organic seems smoother to me.

I am not very knowledgeable of coffees, yet. I try out beans based on your description. I am not disappointed by this Mexican Organic Chiapas. I would recommend to friends, I brewed a smooth, enjoyable cup.

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 slow roasted it to dark roast,, I'm using this coffee beans for cold brew coffee and I love the taste! However I'm looking forward to try another origin.

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.

I was unimpressed. No nose, not much flavor. I like Tanzania Peaberry much better.

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.

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.

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

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 have been roasting for about 5 years and this continues to be my favorite daily cup-er. <3!

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

This was my first green bean roast. So take my review with that information. I roast on the stove with two spoons and a cast iron pan. The roast lasts 15-18 minutes, on medium heat because I'm in no hurry. I end up with a medium to dark roast that tastes and smells great. I chose this variety of bean because it was inexpensive and didn't want to experiment with expensive beans. Looks like I picked a good bean regardless. I love it !!

I have been persuaded to leave the dark side lol. this beautiful bean may be the one responsible for getting me to like anything not dark and shiny. My first few batches I did in my hot air popper and it just ruined them, either it never got hot enough to finish a roast (with the temperature sensor connected ) or it went too fast to an Italian roast. 😳🥺 So I decided to take some to work (pizza place) and tried the oven there. It has a conveyer belt set at 6min. And 450° which got me to first crack. after pushing them back in a bit they hit second crack and a few were showing signs of oil on the surface so I pulled em ... now that they set for a day I am drinking a beautiful cup of buttery goodness. 👍👍🤜💥🤛 If you haven't tried these beans and have the equipment to control your roast do yourself a favor and get some.

This is my favorite bean! I was so excited to find such a good price for an organic bean too. This bean is still delightful if you accidentally over or under roast a bit. It's smooth and creamy, with a bit of chocolate aftertaste. Shipping was incredibly fast.

Very tasty and easy to roast on the skiller!

Great coffee; this is our new favorite!

Best bean I’ve roasted by far !! From a blonde to a full city roast !! Excellent coffee!!

Smoothe buttery, chocolatey, nutty flavor. Lots of precious oil in this bean. Organically grown has the richest flavor. Roast til very dark and shiny (or a bitter taste dominates) and only roast as much as you’ll use in a few days. The oils taste freshest right after roasting. Great price too.

Roasted this to a dark roast and it produced a good cup of coffee but was a bit "dirty" tasting. I agree this is a good bean for a new roaster because it seems to produce a pretty cup regardless of the roast and also seems to roast a bit quicker for the impatient!

I bought this for two reasons. One as a comparison to some of the African beans I’ve been buying. The second, and you’re gonma freak, as a cheap coffee to be flavored for my wife. By itself, tastes like an inexpensive coffee that I know most of my friends are accustomed to. Not subtle, not smooth, little u dertones. As a coffee to flavor, it works well

Great "all day" coffee. As others have noted, it is smooth and well-balanced. This is not necessarily my favorite coffee, as I prefer fruitier flavors, however, that is what makes it so good for all day sipping. And, as stated by others, I have received more compliments on this coffee than on any of my others. I find it does better when roasted a bit longer than I normally would. It is at its best right around the start of second crack. It is a good one to roast dark as well if you're into that sort of thing. I try to have a batch that's pretty dark for when my father comes over. In summary, it roasts well, it's a crowd pleaser, and it's hard to go wrong with this bean.
