Mexico is one of the ancient centers of Indian culture. The world famous Mayan culture, Toltec culture and Aztec culture were created by Mexican Indians. Mexico is located in the southern part of North America. It borders the United States to the north, Guatemala and Belize to the southeast, the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea to the south, and the Pacific Ocean to the southwest. 5/6 of the land area is plateau and mountain, with an average altitude of about 1800 meters. There are many islands along the coast. Among them, there are the islands of Revilla, Guadalupe, Cedros and Tres Marias in the Pacific Ocean, Tiburon and Angel de Guada in the Gulf of California, and Murray and Cozumel in the Caribbean Sea.

Chichen Itza Mayan city-state ruins was the largest and most prosperous city-state of the ancient Mayan Empire. The site is located in the middle of the Yucatan Peninsula. It was founded in 514 AD. The main monuments of the city-state are: the Square of a Thousand Pillars, which once supported the huge domed roof. You can see how big this building is. Samurai temple and two reclining statues of gods in front of the temple. The nine-story, 30-meter-high stepped pyramid of Kukurkan. And holy wells (limestone vertical holes) and built on the high platform was a snail-shaped ancient Mayan astronomical observatory, known as the "snail platform."

But with a climate suitable for coffee growing, excellent coffee varieties, excellent soil and high altitude growing areas, why is Mexico's coffee quality unsatisfactory?

A few days ago, when I rushed to Mexico, some colleagues called Mexico popcorn coffee. The quality of raw beans exported from Mexico before was not good. Sometimes, the raw beans bought were mixed with a little corn and sand. If the corn is not sorted and mixed with raw beans and sent to the roaster, it will really become popcorn. But the quality of Mexico's exports of raw beans has improved greatly, and the adulteration of corn kernels has been a story many years ago. Corn was bred by the ancient Indians of Mexico, so Mexico is known as the "hometown of corn", corn is also Mexico's main crop. The coffee wasn't processed well enough in the drying process to get mixed into the corn kernels. That would explain why it was corn. It is not difficult to find out from this matter that the root cause of the unsatisfactory overall quality of Mexican coffee lies in the subsequent production and treatment links. From coffee fruit harvesting, processing, grading, packaging and transportation, unreasonable operation will lead to the loss of good flavor.

Mexicans are enthusiastic and optimistic, and the chocolate in Mexican coffee perfectly reflects this. Mexican coffee has different recipes, but the main difference is whether it contains alcohol or not. We will first introduce the non-alcoholic recipe.

Heat a cup of milk, a teaspoon of cinnamon powder and a teaspoon of vanilla powder in a saucepan. Keep the heat medium, not too high. Make sure the milk doesn't boil. Then add cocoa powder, dissolve well and stir well. If you love chocolate, you can use chocolate paste instead of cocoa powder and milk mix.

Allow the milk to cool for about 5 minutes before pouring into the coffee. Garnish the coffee with cold cream and a cinnamon stick.

Chocolate and cinnamon aromas blend together to give off a desert flavor. Tasting a cup of coffee like this, you're walking through the grey-green cacti of the Mexican desert. It's a fun experience.
