Coffee Origin

This region, with humid climate in the mornings and dry hot afternoons, is ideal for the production of coffee. Today, Cerro Malé and the surroundings of Motozintla is home to dozens of small-scale coffee growers where organic coffee is produced.

Mexican coffee is fairly unheard of on this side of the Atlantic with the majority of the coffee heading North to the USA.

It also doesn’t produce a great deal of speciality grade coffee with most of the coffee leaving the country sold as commodity coffee.
