Mexico - smaller farms, independent operations, exceptional coffee production

Regular price$0.00 Sale price

On small, mountainous farms led largely by Indigenous growers, there’s a quietly impressive treasure thriving: Mexican coffee. Although Mexico is rarely mentioned among the world’s top coffee origins, it absolutely deserves a place on the list. The country produces uniquely fruity, character-filled coffees, carries a strong social and environmental story, and has a long, meaningful history in coffee cultivation.

According to the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (SADER), Mexico is one of the world's largest exporters of organic-certified coffee, with up to 8% of producers growing it.

Typical coffee producing climate in Mexico consists of high altitudes, ample shade, volcanic soil, and an abundant of rainfall. Mexico’s coffee farms are often smaller, family run operations so it's quite common for whole families to help with cultivating, harvesting, and processing. In most recent years of 2018/2019 Mexico exported a total of 2.6 million 60-kilo bags, making it the ninth-largest coffee exporter in the world.

Chiapas

In Chiapas, Mexico’s oldest and largest coffee region, some farms have over a century of history. The Sierra Madre mountains create diverse microclimates influenced by both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. This coffee is decaffeinated using the Mountain Water Process, which uses natural mountain water from Pico de Orizaba. Certified organic since 2003, the process involves steaming and preparing the beans, then gently extracting caffeine with water under controlled conditions. The beans are carefully dried and polished, resulting in a full-flavored coffee with no chemical residues.
