About Mexico Monte Azul
Our Mexico Monte Azul is grown on a coffee farm under a natural forest canopy with an abundance of plant species, contributing to both fertile soil and a fertile breeding ground for wildlife. Don Pepe is a family business, started by Pepe Gorbene in 1992. Over the years the business has grown to where it now exports over 50,000 sacks of coffee annually, trading a further 70,00 sacks internally.
 
These beans benefit from the rich, volcanic soil, high altitudes and shade-grown practices that protect biodiversity and enhance quality. The beans are hand-picked and carefully sorted, before being hulled (removing the outer layers of the coffee cherry, including the pulp and mucilage) at the processing mill. The beans are then sun-dried on raised beds and raked often to ensure even drying. They then receive their final check and begin the journey to Mocha Mondo headquarters in Northumberland!
 
Our Mexico Monte Azul beans reflect all the qualities that Mexican coffee is known for; smooth, medium bodied with a natural sweetness and decadent chocolatey notes. We roast this coffee medium-dark to bring out flavours of milk chocolate, toasted almonds, brown butter and dried cranberries.
 
This coffee is an omni coffee, meaning it works well in all coffee makers. We particularly enjoy it the most in milk-based espresso drinks as the milk further enhances the natural sweetness, resulting in a rich and indulgent cup of coffee.
 
If you’re a fan of our Madre Tierra Honduras, Women Power Zongolica or Mocha Mondo Gold, we think our Mexico Monte Azul could be right up your street!
 
We roast this coffee to-order in small batches from our Northumberland based roastery to ensure optimum freshness and flavour by the time it makes it into your mug.
