Café Mokxa
Lyon, France
A pioneer of specialty coffee roasting in France, founded in 2011 in Lyon by Sadry and Rose after years abroad immersed in the world of fine coffees. Mokxa works exclusively with specialty-grade coffees scoring above 84/100, roasting daily with precision and adaptation tailored to each lot's variety, origin, and post-harvest treatment. The team prioritizes traceability from farm to cup, seasonality reflecting harvest cycles, and direct, sustainable partnerships with producers at prices far exceeding market rates — all beans are 100% Arabica, EcoCert organic certified. Roasting and barista training happen at facilities in Oullins-Pierre-Bénite (Lyon) and Strasbourg. Source: cafemokxa.com

Coffees
16 coffees
A soft, balanced, organic (AB certified) direct-trade cup from Cusco cooperative communities practicing extended fermentation and shelter-drying.
Grape · Caramel · Chocolate
A single-serve 12g brew bag of Mokxa's Sitio da Torre lot — just add ~200ml hot water and steep 4-5 minutes. Built for travelers and hikers who want real specialty coffee with no equipment.
Dark chocolate · Hazelnut · Coconut
Named after the treatment station's village and a native plant used for rope-making and bread-baking, from a producer supporting 116 farming families through equitable wealth-sharing.
Maple syrup · Red fruit · Chocolate chip
An experimental co-fermentation lot infusing coconut oil during natural processing, from a producer Mokxa has worked with long-term — a round, unique cup.
Dark chocolate · Hazelnut · Coconut
A ready-to-drink 3L cold brew concentrate made from the La Llanara lot, cold-infused for 20 hours.
Caramel · Refreshing · Complex
A gentle sugarcane-derived ethyl acetate decaffeination combined with mountain spring water preserves the bean's inherent sweetness, from a community of growers in Cauca's volcanic, stable-climate highlands.
Chocolate · Caramel · Almond
A silky, juicy lot from a third-generation-run, 17-hectare semi-shaded plantation where the producer experiments with botanical varieties and fermentation techniques.
White peach · Grape · Blackcurrant
An intense, caramelized "Curious" profile lot from Costa Rica's Los Santos region, extended-fermented in oxygen-sealed barrels.
Brandy · Pineapple · Pear
From a producer who combines a veterinary-science background with coffee growing, developing custom yeast strains and extended fermentation techniques on his family farm.
Thyme · Lemongrass · Redcurrant
From a 380-hectare farm rehabilitated in 2018 after abandonment, now combining specialty coffee cultivation with a protected natural reserve housing over 21 exotic coffee varieties.
Apricot · Mango · Violet syrup
An organic blend combining exceptional terroirs across Latin America and Africa, built to be versatile across espresso and filter. Sourced from producers practicing sustainable, certified-organic agriculture; composition varies by harvest availability.
Hazelnut · Cocoa · Raspberry · Caramel · White chocolate · Yellow fruit
A bold blend that challenges preconceptions about robusta — a 5% robusta addition (Coffea Canephora) gives structural body and aromatic intensity to a full-bodied, silky cup.
Dark chocolate · Wood · Spice · Full-bodied
A silky, sweet organic cup from a cooperative of 691 independent smallholders farming shade-grown, volcanic-soil plots in Huehuetenango; cherries are hand-harvested and processed the same day.
Cocoa bean · Almond · Citrus
A 100% Brazilian espresso blend from singular Minas Gerais terroirs, named for the nostalgia and longing (saudade) built up over Mokxa's annual visits to the Serra de Mantiqueira producers. Composition shifts seasonally as micro-lots are replaced with comparable aromatic profiles.
Cocoa bean · Nuts · Caramel · Creamy
A gourmand, full-bodied direct-trade lot from a family-owned Certifica Minas and Fair Trade certified farm near Carmo de Minas.
Dark chocolate · Molasses · Yellow fruits
A sweet, gourmand organic coffee from Coffee Village, supporting 1,202 farmers across the volcanic soils and tropical microclimate of Muhura, with a focus on quality, environment, and community.
