Quetzal Dawn - Medium Plus Roast

Washed Quetzal, Mexico

Light medium to medium roast Mexican single origin coffee with a clean, elegant and naturally sweet profile

Quetzal Dawn is a bright, graceful and beautifully balanced Mexican single origin coffee from Chiapas, roasted to a light medium to medium profile to bring out clarity, sweetness and a smooth finish.

This washed coffee has a clean structure and a gentle natural sweetness that makes it easy to enjoy across different brew methods. The cup opens with soft citrus brightness and delicate fruit, followed by brown sugar sweetness and a smooth chocolate undertone. It is refined rather than loud, with enough development in the roast to bring warmth and sweetness without losing the clarity that makes washed Mexican coffee so appealing.

As a 2024 harvest coffee, Quetzal Dawn benefits from a slightly more developed roast than an ultra light profile. This helps round out the cup, soften the acidity and bring forward the sweetness. The result is a coffee that feels elegant, clean and approachable, with a gentle lift rather than sharpness.

In filter, Quetzal Dawn gives a crisp and balanced cup with citrus, soft fruit and a clean finish. In cafetière, it becomes rounder and sweeter, with more body and chocolate depth. In a moka pot or espresso style brew, it offers a smooth, sweet cup with brown sugar and gentle fruit character.

Roasted in small batches in Oxfordshire, Quetzal Dawn is ideal for anyone who enjoys a clean, sweet and well balanced coffee that still feels interesting without being overpowering.

Why Quetzal Dawn?

Quetzal Dawn is a coffee built around balance. It has the brightness you would hope for from a washed Chiapas coffee, but it is not thin, sharp or difficult.

The light medium to medium roast gives the coffee enough development to bring out sweetness and structure. Brown sugar and milk chocolate give it softness, while citrus and red fruit keep the cup lively and fresh.

This is a refined Mexican single origin coffee for people who enjoy clarity, sweetness and an easy drinking finish. Clean enough for slow mornings. Sweet enough for everyday drinking. Interesting enough to feel special.
