Cozumel’s Coffee Scene: Exploring the Island’s Best Brews
Coffee enthusiasts know the importance of finding a good cup of joe, especially when traveling. If you’re considering visiting the stunning island of Cozumel, you’re in for a treat. Mexico is one of the world’s top coffee producers, and Cozumel is no exception, boasting a plethora of cafes that serve up exquisite Mexican coffee. This guide will take you through the best coffee shops on the island.
What does the Best Airbnb in Cozumel think about coffee?
Travelers searching for the perfect beverage to start their day no longer have to settle for instant coffee brewed in old-fashioned pots. Stingray Villa has collaborated with an organic coffee company (café oro mágico) to perk up caffeinated beverage options in all our accommodations. Considering the spreading popularity of Starbucks and other craft brews, we have no choice but to offer coffee of equal or higher quality.
“Coffee is too often overlooked, but it is essential to hotel guests,” says Silvia Lupone, owner of Stingray Villa. “Successful resorts are taking the time to explore origins and blend options and deliver an outstanding experience. Quality coffee programs have become vacation differentiators.”
Silvia also feels, “Coffee is the next microbrew beer. Similar to microbrews and the interest guests have in those, we are now looking at how we can incorporate local artisan coffee as part of the villa’s experience.”
The Art of Coffee in Cozumel
With its rich soils and ideal climate, Mexico has a strong tradition of producing high-quality coffee. Coffee lovers around the world admire the beans from regions like Chiapas, Oaxaca, and Veracruz for their balanced acidity, medium body, and delightful flavors of chocolate, nuts, and fruit. These features make Mexican coffee a favorite among connoisseurs and casual drinkers alike.
The Importance of Local, Organic Coffee
Sustainability and environmental consciousness are increasingly important in the coffee industry. A 2015 National Coffee Association USA study found that 17% of coffee drinkers expressed concern about environmental and sustainability issues. As a response, many Cozumel cafes source their beans from local, organic farms, ensuring you can enjoy your cup of joe guilt-free.
