MEXICO – THE WORLD’S FIRST ORGANIC COFFEE FARM WAS FOUNDED IN MEXICO

Decorative ceramic tiles are a classic Mexican home accent which helped influenced the rich, bold design for the Mexican cup.

A coffee-cultivating country since the late 18th century, today Mexico is renowned for its organic coffee, producing up to 60 per cent of the world’s supply, and able to fetch much higher prices for farmers. Coffee is grown in 12 of Mexico’s states, and is a major source of employment in rural areas.

Historically, Mexican coffee was viewed as cheap, and popular for blends, but its offerings have become more sophisticated, with single-origins and other specialties more prevalent. Mexico is the largest source of US coffee imports.

Flavours in a cup of Mexican coffee tend to be described as delicate and mild with dry, acidic elements, making it ideal for enjoying black.

GUATEMALA – COFFEE PRODUCTION IN GUATEMALA STARTED IN THE 1850s

The Guatemalan cup design was inspired by the vibrant geometric patterns traditionally used in brocading and embroidering.

Despite being a tiny country of only 108,889sqm packing in 15 million people, Guatemala punches above its weight with its coffee production and quality.

Its coffee industry was developed in the 1850s, and by 1880, counted for 90 per cent of the country’s exports. Today it is still an important source of export and income for Guatemala – and the coffee sector is one of the largest employers.

Guatemalan coffees tend to have medium-to-full flavours, often with a smack of smoky chocolate, thanks to volcanic soil most of the crops are grown in, with regional characteristics.

CUBA – COFFEE CAME TO CUBA IN THE MID-1700s

Cuba’s cup design references the art nouveau era, when many of Havana’s famous pastel-coloured buildings were built.

Coffee cultivation began in Cuba in the mid-18th century, and flourished into a prosperous industry and a major export. In modern, post-revolution Cuba, the industry is much smaller, and more specialized, particularly with organic varietals.

Coffee is rationed monthly, and most Cubans drink coffee made with a stovetop espresso maker.

The drinking of coffee is a social activity in Cuba, traditionally shared with guests over neighbourhood gossip. In fact, a typical serving of coffee is known as a ‘colada’, which contains multiple Cuban-style espresso shots, and is intended to be shared with friends or colleagues during a work break.
