This dark roast coffee is from Mexico's Chiapas region, sourced from various smallholder farms. It is a washed, sun-dried, organic coffee characterized by low acidity (pH 5.5), with flavor notes of brown sugar and maple syrup. The roast gives a sweet, smooth body with earthy cocoa tones and hints of roasted hazelnuts.
Volcanica Coffee began in 2004 when Costa Rican-born Maurice Contreras started importing richly flavored beans from volcanic regions right out of his garage. What began as a side passion soon grew into a family-run specialty roaster, roasting on demand in Atlanta and sending each batch out within a day. Their approach is simple, unyielding: showcase terroir-driven, exotic single-origin beans from volcanic soils, roast them with care, and ship only when they’re at their freshest.
