Prompt #11B: North America & The Caribbean - Mexico
Small Mexican coffee farms are more common than large plantations, but with over 100,000 coffee farmers, Mexico ranks as one of the largest coffee producing countries in the world.

It is an excellent bean for dark roasts and is often used in blends. A Mexican coffee designated Altura means that it was grown at high altitudes.

☕️ 2. Read a book with an X in the title.
☕️ 3. Read a book with something sharp on the cover.
