Tex-a de Olla is Independence Coffee Co.'s light-roast whole bean blend flavored with cinnamon and brown sugar, inspired by traditional Mexican café de olla and crafted with Mexican and Brazilian beans.
This 24-ounce bag delivers a bright, aromatic coffee that highlights warm spice and sweet caramelized notes without heavy roasting. Roasted light to preserve origin character, the blend balances Mexican and Brazilian coffees to create a cup that pairs cinnamon and brown sugar flavoring with lively acidity and a clean finish. Ideal for brewing methods that showcase nuance—pour-over, Aeropress, or drip—this whole-bean offering lets you grind just before brewing for the freshest aroma.
What flavor profile can I expect from Tex-a de Olla?
You’ll notice prominent cinnamon spice and a rounded brown-sugar sweetness over a light, bright coffee body. The light roast keeps origin flavors present—floral and citrusy notes from the Mexican beans and subtle chocolate and nut undertones from the Brazilian component.
- Top notes: cinnamon spice and baking-sugar sweetness
- Mid notes: lively acidity with floral or citrus hints
- Base notes: mild cocoa, toasted nuts and a clean finish
- Roast level: light—preserves origin complexity
How should I brew these 24 oz whole beans to highlight cinnamon and brown sugar?
Grind immediately before brewing to release the flavored oils and preserve aroma. Use medium-fine grind for pour-over, medium for drip machines, and finer for Aeropress to balance extraction and emphasize the added flavors.
- Pour-over: 1:16 ratio, medium-fine grind, 2.5–3 minute brew time
- Drip coffee maker: medium grind, 1:15–1:17 ratio for balanced sweetness
- Aeropress: fine-to-medium grind, short steep and rapid plunge for bright body
- Whole-bean storage: keep sealed, cool, away from light for best freshness
What makes this a Texan take on café de olla rather than a traditional Mexican version?
Independence Coffee Co. blends Mexican and Brazilian coffees and applies a cinnamon-and-brown-sugar flavor profile with a lighter roast than many traditional preparations. The result nods to café de olla’s spiced sweetness while highlighting the individual bean origins and a cleaner, brighter cup.
- Inspiration: Mexican café de olla spice profile with a Texas twist
- Beans: a blend of Mexican and Brazilian origins for balance
