Organic Mexican Chiapas Coffee

These coffee beans come from the Chiapas region in southern moutains of Mexico. Coffees from this region are sought after for their delicate aroma, medium body, natural chocolate flavor and bright acidity. A well balanced cup of coffee.

Mexico is one of the largest producers of certified organic coffees, and because of the US close proximity, we receive the bulk of fine Mexican coffees in this market.

Mexican coffee cooperatives emerged in the mid and late eighties when the Mexican coffee industry was in crisis. Coffee prices were so low that many small-scale farming families could not survive. In response to the Mexican coffee crisis, 16,000 small-scale farmers came together to address the situation collectively. They created an independent cooperative to bypass local middlemen and export their coffee directly. They now sell much of their coffee to the Fair Trade market and are guaranteed a price that will support the co-op’s member families.
