The creation of Kahlua begins in the foothills of Mexico where, in Veracruz, only the finest, 100% Arabica coffee beans used in the Kahlúa blend are grown. The region has the required altitude and semi-tropical climate for growing the light-bodied bean with a subtle hint of chocolate – the essence of Kahlúa’s distinctive aroma and flavour. Arabica coffee beans are shade grown, on a height of 900 to 1400 meters, so that they can ripen slowly without the use of pesticides. The tradition of using the shade plantation technique dates back to two of the brand’s founders, the Alvarez brothers, who strategically planted large trees within the coffee plantation to provide shade for the ripening coffee cherries. Once the beans are ripe they are handpicked green and screened (to eliminate defected beans), washed and dried in the sun. Afterwards the beans are lightly roasted and coarsely ground (to preserve the most of their natural taste and aroma). The resulting substance is immediately brewed into rich and freshly percolated coffee which is then blended with the finest imported rums and sweetest vanilla and caramel to create the unique exotic taste of Kahlua.
