MORE INFO
Mexico Sicobi is one of our longstanding releases that has gained a loyal following over the course of time. Now a decade strong, our relationship with the Sicobi communities gives us the opportunity to watch their continued quality and sustainability improvements.
In 2010, the non-governmental agency, GAIA founded Sicobi as part of its effort to encourage biodiversity in Oaxaca, Mexico. Today, they work with 500 farms across eight communities to support their mission. While they do not work with every farmer in the region directly, Sicobi's rules and policies influence the growing practices of the entire territory, leading to a great push toward sustainability and biodiversity.
Coffees processed at Sicobi are known for breaking the mold of the standard Mexican coffee profile. Their coffees are fermented in wooden tanks, helping give them even more distinct characteristics. This year's release has a lovely creaminess to it, adding an extra layer of complexity to its incredibly sweet profile.

We offer three different grind sizes on the vast majority of our coffee offerings: drip, espresso, and French press.
- Use drip grind if you plan on making your coffee using a coffee machine, in a pour over brewer, or if you want to try a newer way to make your trusty French press.
- Use espresso grind if you have an espresso machine at home. This grind will be very fine and will over-extract (in other words, taste bitter and chalky) in other methods.
- Use French press grind if you are making a coffee in the more traditional French Press method, or making cold brew, or do very large batches in a Chemex (greater than 60 grams of coffee).

Please visit our brewing page here. Coffee brewing is as much an art as it is a science, and it might take a few tries for you to find a sweet-spot that matches your taste preference. We recommend not getting too lost in the "right" way to brew, but instead focus on what you like and try to educate yourself on some best practices. And then just take it from there!
That said, we offer several how-to's for many popular brewers:

Our blends run from medium-light to dark. You can get a full breakdown of the blends in our Blend Buying Guide.
