Mori Coffee

About This Coffee

This coffee originates from Bella Vista in the Sierra de Chiapas, one of Mexico's most traditional coffee-growing regions. Cultivated at 1,650 meters above sea level by small-scale producers—primarily women—this coffee is part of a project led by Rosalba Cifuentes. More than 200 women producers participate in this program, cultivating farms inherited through generations. The coffee undergoes traditional washed processing that highlights the clarity, natural sweetness, and varietal expression of Typica, Bourbon, and Caturra varieties. The cup profile is sweet, aromatic, and balanced with floral fragrance and notes of honey, flower, caramel, fruit, and chocolate. The acidity is medium and gentle, with a creamy body and clean, sweet finish.

Mori Coffee

Mori Coffee traces its roots to 1928, when a family of Japanese immigrants settled in Parana state, Brazil, and began growing and roasting coffee. Nearly a century later, Avi Castineiras and Pedro Tanoira brought those beans to Santiago de Compostela, opening their first space at the Mercado de Abastos in February 2021. A second space followed in April 2022 inside the historic El Rhin building, preserving its original 1960s glass storefront. The coffee comes from Fazenda Mori, still run by the third generation of the founding family, and this marks the first time the farm's coffee has been sold outside Brazil. Japanese decorative elements inside the space honor that heritage. Mori's philosophy holds that coffee deserves the same attention and respect as wine, and the pairing of Brazilian farming tradition with Galician hospitality makes for something genuinely distinctive.
