From the heart of Oaxaca's Sierra Sur highlands comes Sicobi, a washed-process Mexican coffee that tastes like autumn warmth in a cup. Dancing Goats sources this exceptional lot from smallholder farmers working at elevations between 1,300 and 1,900 meters, where Typica, Caturra, and Mundo Novo varieties thrive in volcanic soil and mountain microclimates.What makes Sicobi remarkable is its accessibility—this is a coffee that welcomes everyone to the specialty table. The profile is sweetness-forward with a light, crisp brightness that never overwhelms. There's a honeyed quality that runs through every sip, what the roasters call "golden," and it's an apt description for a coffee that radiates warmth and smoothness.Tasting NotesThe cup opens with cherry cola sweetness, moves into fig bar richness, and finishes with notes of baked apple—think orchard fruit caramelized at the edges. The body is medium and silky, with gentle acidity that brings brightness without sharpness. The finish lingers with brown sugar and stone fruit echoes. This is an easy-drinking coffee that doesn't sacrifice complexity for approachability.Brew MethodsSicobi shines across brew methods. As drip coffee, it delivers consistent sweetness and clarity—perfect for everyday brewing. In pour over (V60, Chemex), those figgy, fruited notes really open up, especially if you bloom generously and keep your water around 200°F. It also makes a beautiful espresso: pull it at a 1:2 ratio around 25–28 seconds for a shot with caramel body and cola-like sweetness that plays well in milk drinks. French press enthusiasts will appreciate how the immersion method amplifies the baked apple character and syrupy mouthfeel.About Dancing Goats CoffeeDancing Goats is an Atlanta-based roaster known for sourcing exceptional coffees and roasting them to highlight origin character while maintaining balance and drinkability.Need help dialing in your grind or choosing the right brewer for this coffee?
