About Mexica Chiapas Turquesa of Mexico
One of the specialty coffee industry’s best kept secrets, our Mexico Chiapas Turquesa is a versatile coffee that can be blended, roasted light or dark and roasts up with a big flavor. Chiapas is the southernmost region in Mexico, sharing a border with Guatemala to the west, and Oaxaca to the east. Mexico as a whole is the world’s 8th largest producer of coffee, with the majority of production occurring in Chiapas and Oaxaca. Chiapas is well suited to produce an almost Guatemala-like coffee
The mountainous highlands of Chiapas provide an ideal climate in terms of temperature and humidity for arabica cultivation; it’s also home to some breathtaking vistas and numerous ancient Mayan archeological sites.

Aubrey Mills
6+ years experience as Coffee Taster, Wholesale Director, barista and Coffee Quality Director.
Aubrey Mills is steeped in coffee. Not literally, of course, but since 2013, she’s been preparing and tasting coffee for a career. Initially as a barista at the Portland, OR Insomnia Coffee and Dapper & Wise, her job was to stay on top of quality and help customers find coffees they were excited about. This involved tasting all the coffees they’d be serving that day, dialing in espresso or approve a drip recipe.
She soon became Director of Wholesale at Dapper & Wise, where she regularly cupped at quality control cuppings with the team, hosted cuppings for the public and trained wholesale partners on proper coffee preparation. In the role of helping to maintain Dapper & Wise’s menu of diverse flavor profiles, roast levels and processing methods, Aubrey also visited coffee producing countries. She says, “Traveling to origin and experiencing the beginning of the coffee journey has given me greater perspective for how many variables can impact flavor in the final cup.”
Along with her on-point palate and killer coffee know-how, Aubrey brings creativity, sparkle and grace to everything she does, actively looking for opportunities to showcase the value of specialty coffee and address sustainability issues in the industry.

"A nice balance between down to earth and delicate, this coffee has a lot to offer. I taste peanut, rosewater and grapefruit. The finish is long and dry with a slick mouthfeel."

For over a decade, VM Coffee has been on a mission to bring the world’s finest specialty coffee to your cup. What began as a passion project has grown into a thriving business, dedicated to sourcing, roasting, and delivering exceptional coffee from the most celebrated regions around the globe.
From the rolling hills of Mexico, where the altitude and climate create a unique environment for growing beans with rich, nuanced flavors, to the legendary coffee fields of Colombia, known for producing some of the most well-balanced and vibrant coffees in the world—our journey has taken us to the heart of the best coffee-growing regions. We've explored the lush plantations of Brazil, where the rich soil yields beans with deep, chocolatey undertones, and ventured to other coffee havens, each with its own story to tell through the beans it produces.
At VM Coffee, our commitment to quality is unwavering. We meticulously select our coffee beans, forging strong relationships with farmers who share our dedication to sustainability and excellence. Each batch is roasted with precision and care, bringing out the distinct characteristics of each origin. Whether it's the bright, citrusy notes of a Mexican single-origin, the smooth, caramel sweetness of a Brazilian blend, or the complex, fruity undertones of a Colombian roast, every cup is a testament to our love for coffee and our relentless pursuit of perfection.
We also understand that every coffee drinker is unique, which is why we offer the ability to tailor custom roasts for our customers. Whether you prefer a light, fruity profile or a dark, bold roast, our team works closely with you to create a coffee that matches your exact taste preferences.
As we look ahead, our excitement only grows. We are constantly exploring new regions, discovering new flavor profiles, and pushing the boundaries of what specialty coffee can be. VM Coffee's story is one of passion, dedication, and an unyielding commitment to bringing you the very best that the world of coffee has to offer. Join us on this journey, and together, let’s celebrate the rich diversity of coffee—one cup at a time.
