    This one is very well done for an inexpensive, fair-trade, organic coffee. I love the values of Equal Exchange. Definitely get a smooth/creamy feel to it, along with the dark chocolate.

More Details

Roast Level: Vienna
Vienna roast refers to a specific level of coffee bean roasting that is darker than a medium roast but lighter than a French roast. At this roast level, the beans are characterized by a medium-dark brown color, a slightly oily surface, and a bold flavor profile with notes of caramel and chocolate. The roasting process brings out the natural sugars in the beans, making Vienna roast a popular choice for espresso.
Bean Source Country: Mexico
Mexican specialty coffee is marked by its diverse growing regions, rich volcanic soil, and varied microclimates. These coffees often showcase mild acidity, medium body, and a range of flavors, including chocolate, nuts, and subtle fruit notes. Once treated as commodity beans, Mexico's shade-grown Arabica is benefitting from a more nuanced examination of its micro-terrain.
Organic
Organic coffee is produced without synthetic chemicals, such as pesticides, herbicides, and artificial fertilizers. Instead, organic coffee farmers rely on natural and sustainable agricultural practices like crop rotation, composting, and biological pest control. To be labeled as organic, coffee must meet strict regulations and certification criteria set by governing bodies, such as the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) or the European Union (EU). Organic coffee not only supports environmental sustainability but may also offer health benefits, as it contains fewer chemical residues than conventionally grown coffee.
Fair trade
Fair-trade coffee refers to coffee beans that are produced, traded, and sold following a set of ethical and social standards designed to ensure fair treatment of farmers and workers in the coffee industry. Fair Trade organizations work to create a more equitable global trade model by prioritizing the well-being of small-scale coffee producers and farm workers, primarily in developing countries.
