Chocolate sweetness with cranberry brightness
Dark chocolate is at the center of this cup. We also find vanilla and graham cracker sweetness, with cranberry becoming clearer as the coffee cools.
Its round body works well in French press and espresso. Pour-over gives the fruit more room while keeping the chocolate sweetness in view.
Smallholder coffee through FESICH
This coffee comes through FESICH, a federation of indigenous and ecological cooperative societies in Chiapas.
Its members farm in communities around Ángel Albino Corzo and neighboring municipalities near the El Triunfo Biosphere Reserve. FESICH provides technical support and training in cultivation, organic production and certification requirements.
Washed and dried on patios
Ripe cherries are selected and depulped. After fermentation, the coffee is washed and the parchment dries on concrete patios.
This coffee is certified Fair Trade and organic.
Brewing Guides
Brew Sierra Madre Chiapas like we do - here’s how.
Highlights clarity and acidity; best with precise grind, flow control, and flat or conical brewers.
| Brew Ratio | 1:16 (e.g., 20g coffee to 320g water) |
| Grind | Medium (like table salt) |
| Water Temp | 93°C / 199°F |
| Total Brew Time | 2:45 - 3:30 min |
| Yield | 300-320g |
Use a V60 or Kalita Wave with a steady pour. V60 gives the cranberry more room, while the Kalita pulls the cup toward vanilla and dark chocolate.
Full immersion with coarse grind; great for body, sweetness, and lower-acidity profiles.
| Brew Ratio | 1:15 (e.g., 30g coffee to 450g water) |
| Grind | Coarse (like sea salt) |
| Water Temp | 93°C / 199°F |
| Total Brew Time | 4:00 - 5:00 min |
| Yield | 400-450g |
Stir gently at the start and decant right after pressing. French press emphasizes the round body, dark chocolate, and vanilla.
Pressure extraction with fine grind; isolates intensity, structure, and balance.
| Brew Ratio | 1:2.25 (e.g., 18g coffee to 40g espresso) |
| Grind | Fine (like powdered sugar) |
| Water Temp | 93°C / 199°F |
| Total Brew Time | 26 - 31 sec |
| Yield | 38-42g |
Pull a slightly longer ratio to keep the cranberry clear. The medium roast brings dark chocolate and vanilla forward in milk.
