Quiasmo Coffee Bar

Quiasmo, local coffee roasted in Mexico City

The coffee was roasted by Quiasmo Coffee Bar, a coffee bar in Mexico City. They were roasting in the shop while I was there.

LAVADO means washed, and the bag says it three times, so it must be really clean! The green iguana however is not explained anywhere.

The coffee is grown in Coatepec in Veracruz in eastern Mexico by Aurelio Ramos Cruz. It is a mix of three varieties, Typica, Bourbon and Marsellesa, grown at 1,250 meters above sea level. On the bag the notes are chocolate, nut, honey, butter and vanilla.

It is a very sweet and nutty coffee. That altitude is not very high, the cherries ripen faster down there and you get chocolate and nuts instead of sharp fruit.

It was the best coffee I had while in Mexico City!
