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.
