Mexico Nayarit Limited Edition Coffee

Mexico Nayarit Limited Edition Coffee

Sweet, bright and a little bit spicy, Mexico Nayarita is the perfect cup for cooler mornings. A naturally processed bean from the northernmost coffee growing region of the Americas, this party in a cup should take you straight into your Cinco de Mayo celebrations! 

Aromas of chocolate, hazelnut and berries lead into a cup bursting with rosehip, strawberry and redcurrant, lifted by blood orange acidity. With a velvety rounded body and an exceptionally balanced profile, Mexico Nayarita finishes on notes of dark chocolate, almond and clove.

The state of Nayarit runs from the Pacific Ocean in the west of Mexico up to the Sierra Madre Occidental mountains, and between those two covers a stunning geological diversity from dense mangroves to cloud forests, dry plains and river valleys.

Nayarit is named for Nayar, an Indigenous resistance leader who led the fight against Spanish rule. Nayaritians pride themselves on their independence – the full name is The Free and Sovereign State of Nayarit – and it was one of the last territories admitted to the Mexican Federation, in 1917.

Grupo Terruno Nayarita is a statewide cooperative made up of over 600 independent farmers working 2-3 hectares each. Bringing together the harvests from different microclimates from across the state has created a coffee of great complexity and depth.
