COFFEE IN LATIN AMERICA

Coffee is grown throughout the jungles of Central and South America, as well as in the Caribbean islands. Colombia, Costa Rica, Panama, Venezuela and Mexico are all strong producers of coffee.

Beans from Latin America tend to have a very distinct set of flavors and textures, depending on their roast. They are often grown at high altitudes in volcanic soil which gives them brightness and sweetness.

Their acidity is usually high, with a light body. There is often a distinct sweetness and tanginess to Latin American coffees. Their flavor is usually brought out best by a light or medium roast, so you don’t see as many espresso or French roasts with Latin American beans.

They are good breakfast coffees with a lightness and freshness to the taste – very bright.
