Graveyard Shift

We selected our Mexico Ki-Saya San Cristobal coffee for Graveyard Shift because it can hold up to the heat of a dark roast and still express some lively character. Coffee is the most important commercial crop in Chiapas and has a long history here with the people. Our supplier, Covoya, is a leading buyer in this region and is also a key partner for the farmers, working for more than 15 years with the coffee growing communities. This San Cristóbal Ki-Saya lot is sourced from organic coffee farmers. The coffee is grown under the shade of indigenous trees. Once it is picked, the coffee is depulped, fermented for 12-17 hours, washed and then dried on small drying patios.

Sourced from the Chiapas region of Mexico, Graveyard Shift is a washed-process coffee offered by Backyard Beans Coffee Co.. While flavor profiles can vary significantly based on origin and preparation, washed coffees are generally recognized for their clean, bright acidity and ability to highlight the inherent characteristics of the bean.

Whether you are a seasoned enthusiast or a curious newcomer, this selection serves as a classic example of the regional profile typical of high-quality Mexican production.
