COFFEE IN THE LATIN REGIONS
Black is in in Mexico
Coffee in the Latin American region is mostly centered on the Mexican parts of the region . Coffees are produced on the gulf side of the region particularly in the Vera Cruz State . Coffees in these areas that are worthy to try on are the Altura Orizaba and Altura Huatusco . Another source of coffee on this side of the world is the Altura Coatepec , which are purported to be really good .
Those that are produced in Oaxaca State as well as those in the Chiapas state are also enjoying great reviews from coffee lovers all over the world .
Fine coffees are however not a big thing in the Latin region as they lack the richness and thickness that can be seen in the coffees of other countries . Black coffees are still best in Mexico .
Coffee gold mine
The best coffees in the world can be found in the lands of this small country . Guatemala produces some of the best tasting coffees in the world . Among the kinds that it is most famous for are the Antigua coffee , the Coban , which can be found in the Alta Verapaz regions and the Huehuetenango , which is also great-tasting although not as celebrated as the other two .
Still , the Huehuetenango is fast gaining ground as many now prefer this over the Antigua , not because it is better tasting
but because the quality of the latter is dipping .
Coffee in Guatemala has a distinct spicy flavor that is hard to get from coffees in other countries . This is perhaps why its coffee industry is steadily climbing .
Rich and Robust
There is nothing more you could ask for in the coffee of Costa Rica . Compared to the Mexican coffee , Costa Rican kinds are richer and more robust . In fact , their coffee is often compared to a good wine . Coffees are grown primarily in San Jose , particularly in the districts of Tres Rios , Alajuela and San Marcos de Tarrazu .
Blended in the mountains
The most famous of coffee blends come from the Jamaican Blue Mountain . This is one of the most distinguished coffee blends in the world , known for its pricey tag and distinctly addicting flavor . The success of the Blue Mountain blend is actually a sharp contrast to the failure of the coffee industry in other parts of the region particularly in the lowlands .
Because of the heavy prices that coffees in the Blue Mountains command , locals take advantage and call their coffees Blue Mountain even if they aren ’ t produced in the same altitude . This is perhaps the reason why coffee produce has begun to dip in popularity .
