The newest addition to our Small Lot Coffee program, we’re making a return to Chiapas, a state in southern Mexico. This time, we’ve sourced our coffee from a group of growers within the La Concordia region of Chiapas, where the high elevation and oceanic microclimate create optimum conditions for growing rich, chocolatey, full-flavored coffees. True to form, each sip of Trader Joe’s La Concordia Mexico Small Lot Coffee is indeed remarkably rich, deliciously chocolatey, and fabulously full-flavored, with notes of sticky caramel and fresh berries throughout.

Much of that is owed to La Concordia’s unique environment: once the hand-picked beans are washed and laid out to dry in the sun, the humidity makes it necessary for them to dry for a considerably longer time than is typical for other coffee-growing regions. This increased contact between the beans and their husks allows the flavors within the husks to infuse into the bean, resulting in a fruit-forward cup of Coffee. We recommend serving La Concordia with all kinds of breakfast fare: everything from a hearty omelette, to simple eggs and toast, to a superbly saucy plate of chilaquiles.
