Coffee Beans

At La Bruja we serve two of the best coffees —roasted and produced to perfection. Locally made in our neighboring town -Melaque.

One of our local roasters is La Taza Negra. —Run by Alex -Alejandro Amador Navarro and his crew.  He offers a variety of roasts, anything from a light medium to a very nice dark, decaf as well.  Bag sizes are 250g., 500g., and or 1 kilo.  You can buy them in whole bean or we can grind them for you to your liking 😊. —All of which are at a reasonable price.

List of La Taza Negra’s Roasts:

CITY (LIGHT/MEDIUM) ROAST —100% Oaxaca
*This roast is really smooth and quite lovely! Sweet to the taste, with a fruity aroma, medium body, and a bit of acidity.  The beans often come light brown and dry.  We sometimes use this as our regular house drip coffee.

FULL CITY (MEDIUM) ROAST — Veracruz and Nayarit Mix
*Super unique blend with a medium body, also with a sweet but semi-bitter taste.  These beans often come brown and dry, with very little oil content.  Also, often used in house as our drip cafe.

VIENNA (DARK) ROAST —100% Chiapas
*Bold and robust, and… full of flavor. —Great one if you like Dark Roast! Has a great aroma, and is sweet with a medium body.  The beans often come dark brown with some amount of oils.  😋Used in-house for our Drip Coffee and for our Iced Coffee Beverages.

FRENCH (EXTRA DARK) ROAST—100% Chiapas
*Strong and packed with flavor this one is.  Smoky, medium body, a bit bitter, and low in acidity. On a rare occasion, when I know someone is in house that loves a great extra dark roast, I will brew a pot of it.  Otherwise, we do stock it in house for sale.  And… the beans often come quite dark, and very oily.

DECAF –100% Veracruz (wet processed)
*Nutty with flavor, this one is great with your evening dessert.  With a low to medium acidity, it has a medium body,  and a bitter-sweet aroma.  Beans are often dark in color, and oily to the touch. Sold sometimes as drip coffee in house.

Bag sizes are the same –250g., 500g., and or 1 kilo.  You can buy them in whole bean or we can grind them for you to your liking 😊. —All of which are at the same price as La Taza.

List of Estacion Del Caffee Beny’s Roasts:

*This roast is full bodied and wonderful! It is what we use for our Espresso Beverages. It is especially tasty served straight-up as espresso😋
