About this coffee

In 2010, our partner Jesus Salazar developed a coffee-growing project in Chiapas involving the Caféologo Mayan communities. Today, he works directly with 280 micro-producers who grow high-quality coffee under shade on small farms averaging 2 hectares.

This batch comes from the production of Rubeli Jacob and Leonel Jimenez. When Cafeologo met them in 2021, these two producers affiliated to the Beneficio Comunautario Sierra Madre were only producing a washed coffee process.

The Cafeologo team suggested that they buy their cherries and carry out a natural process, to test it out. Satisfied with the result, they trained themselves and now process part of their production naturally, like this coffee, with its notes of honey, caramel and yellow fruit.

The terroir Amatenango de la Frontera

Located at 1,600 meters above sea level in the Sierra Madre de Chiapas. This Beneficio Comunitario is a group of micro-producers who want to face the same challenge: to confront the highly extractive agriculture that commodity buyers are shaping in the region. They also want to restore the value of the classic arabica varieties and not be satisfied with the trend to introduce high-yielding varieties. These independent farmers are accompanied by Jesus Salazar (Cafeologo) and his team. Their goal: to promote sustainable coffee growing by involving producers from Mayan communities and to value their work through the prism of quality.
