Hey Friends,
We associate May with the coming of warmer weather, the spring season, Mother's Day, and on an international level: the celebration of Cinco De Mayo!
This holiday is special to us because of our direct relationship to the country of Mexico. Starting from 2010, I spent three years working with growing communities as part of my role as Humanitarian Director for the Himalayan Institute. While we were there, I also created some lifelong friends in the coffee and cocoa growing villages of the area. Thats why this month we are bringing you not just two, but three single-origin Mexico beans in your monthly Moka Box!
For our chocolate subscribers, we crafted a semi-sweet 60% Dark Chocolate using Mexican Cacao beans. Keeping with a Latin American theme, taste it next to our spicy and sweet Lemon Ginger Chocolate made with Brazil cacao.
For our Coffee Subscribers, we are including two different Single-Origin Mexican coffee. Compare and contrast these beans, grown in different regions within Mexico. The first coffee from the Oaxaca Region is bursing with bright notes of lime and caramel, while the second coffee from the Chiapas region brings familiar tones of roasted cocoa.
Hope you join us in Mexico in May 2021
Enjoy,
Jeff Abella
Moka Origins CEO & Co-Founder
