MEXICO

Tapachula in Chiapas is about 50 miles, as the crow flies, from both Huehuetenango, and Quetzaltenango Guatemala. this Exportura California lot is marketed as HG EP Turquesa. Though I have chosen a Rich Dark Roast (Agtron #30-35) for Gillies production Mexico, the coffee takes a lighter roast well too, so try test roasts in the range of Agtron #35-55) in different shades, Cup them up, and choose your favorite Mexican Roast. -DNS, coffeeman
