Roasted by Dear Green Coffee
Washed Mexican coffee from Chiapas highlands with dried fig and citrus notes.

From the roaster
Sakubel is a washed Mexican coffee from the highlands of Chiapas, produced by Indigenous Tseltal farming communities using traditional shade grown farming methods passed down through generations.
In the cup, expect notes of dried fig, caramelised sugar, and lime marmalade, with a rounded sweetness and a gentle citrus finish. It’s an approachable, well balanced coffee with plenty of character. It works well as both espresso or filter.
Carefully hand picked and slow dried in the cool mountain air of Los Altos de Chiapas, Sakubel is part of a newer wave of traceable Mexican specialty coffee that focuses on quality, community, and expressing the unique growing conditions of the region.
