Mexico El Jaguar

If you are looking for a coffee that combines clean sweetness with a bold, deep character, Siltepec El Jaguar shows Mexico at its best. Milk chocolate, caramel and cane sugar come through straight away, and a gentle nutty bitterness keeps it balanced. The coffee ripens in the shade of cloud forest, at more than a thousand metres, right next to the El Triunfo reserve. Its profile is the result of nature, altitude and the work of local farmers who grow coffee the traditional way. Siltepec El Jaguar shows how special beans from the Mexican mountains can be.

Siltepec El Jaguar coffee from Mexico: sweetness from the Sierra Madre mountains

A distinctive sweet flavour profile. Siltepec El Jaguar from Mexico has a balanced, sweet flavour with notes of milk chocolate, caramel and cane sugar. Medium body and a subtle nutty bitterness leave a pleasant, deep impression with every sip. An aroma of chocolate and nuts underlines its bold character.

Origin: the mountainous Siltepec area in the Sierra Madre

Siltepec El Jaguar comes from the Sierra Madre region in the state of Chiapas, Mexico. Grown on high-altitude farms at 1,100 to 1,250 m a.s.l., the coffee benefits from the area’s natural microclimate. The nearby El Triunfo biosphere reserve, home to many unique species of animals and plants, gives the coffee trees optimal growing conditions.

Cloud forest protects the coffee trees

The cloud forest typical of this region provides natural shade and humidity, which protect the beans from too much sun while helping them ripen slowly. Cool night-time temperatures stretch the ripening process, so the beans can take up more minerals from the rich soil and develop full, complex flavour profiles.

El Triunfo is a protected area: a coffee from an unspoilt natural environment

The El Triunfo reserve has been protected since 1990 and is known for its biodiversity. It is home to rare species such as the quetzal and to 11 of the 18 vegetation types recognised in Chiapas.

Traditional farming and processing of Mexico El Jaguar

El Jaguar beans come from small local farmers who harvest and process by hand. The cherries are picked by hand, fermented in the traditional way and then dried in the sun, with close attention to every detail.

Recommended brew methods: espresso machine and moka pot

Siltepec El Jaguar works very well in espresso machines and moka pots, where its sweetness and nutty finish become more intense.
