This Marsellesa & Costa Rica from Momokiemo in Coapilla, Chiapas, Mexico won 2nd place in the 2024 Mexico Cup of Excellence, with a score of 90.63.

Rancho Momokiemo, nestled in Coapilla, Chiapas, Mexico, at an altitude of 1480 meters, is a shining example of agroecological coffee farming. Situated in a region enriched by Zoque culture and surrounded by lush pine forests, the farm is near the picturesque Laguna Verde. Originally used for grazing and cultivating grains, Momokiemo transformed in 2019 under the 'Sembrando Vida' program, shifting to coffee production using sustainable, low-impact practices. The farm grows Marsellesa and Costa Rica 95 coffee varieties alongside native plants, fostering biodiversity.

Marsellesa is celebrated for its complex, smooth flavor, while Costa Rica 95 offers a balanced profile with gentle acidity and sweetness. Grown in an agroforestry system, these varieties contribute to a nuanced cup that reflects the farm’s commitment to sustainable practices and quality.

The coffee was harvested in 2024 and on the way to Bean & Bean’s roastery. Roasted in small batches on select days — allow extra time for this lot.
