About your hosts

We are your local coffee roasters in the Riviera Maya, Mexico and in St. Louis, MO! Coffee aficionados ourselves, upon arriving in the Mexican Caribbean we were perplexed to find that fresh-roasted coffee is not easy to come by... especially considering that Mexico is home to excellent, specialty-grade organic coffee varieties! Thus, we proudly fresh-roast coffee in our 12-kilo and 20-kilo roasters in Tulum and in our 5-kilo and 10-kilo roasters in St. Louis, MO. Our premium and specialty-grade beans are carefully sourced from coffee farms throughout Mexico. The beans arrive fresh, raw and green so that we may lovingly nurture their transformation into freshly-roasted, LIVE coffee goodness.

What else you should know

Perhaps bring a little cash in case you would like to purchase some bags of fresh-roasted coffee to take home. Makes a great souvenir for family and friends!

Review by Jessica

"This coffee tasting experience was truly a highlight of our entire visit to Tulum. AJ shared his amazingly delicious, super-fresh, live Mexican coffee with me and my husband and even inspired me to roast green coffee beans at home. The class was the perfect length, and we tried several different types of coffees and brew methods. Plus, we enjoyed a delicious complimentary pastry while we were waiting to begin. It didn't hurt that the entire experience took place on a shaded deck right on the beach!! Breezy beach + LIVE, fresh-roasted coffee = Heaven! My husband and I both love coffee and we walked away with so much knowledge and a tremendous appreciation for what AJ and Laura are doing at Brew Tulum. This is a MUST-GO experience for anyone visiting Tulum who enjoys coffee! We hope to return someday, and really hope perhaps AJ and Laura will decide to open a coffee shop in the US (preferably St. Louis...come on, Laura! :)" (June 2019)

This was so much fun!! Laura tells you a lot about the history of coffee and the different ways it can be prepared. I learned a lot and had a ton of fun! It was just a small intimate group which made it easy to have conversations (May 2019)
