Everything that went into growing this Mexico Chiapas Organic is natural, with priority placed on conserving and revitalizing the land's resources. Most of the farmers in Chiapas are smallholders, and their economy is driven by coffee, their primary cash crop. The Chiapas Highlands are rich in rainfall and nutritious soil, and the coffee farms at 1200-1750masl are naturally shaded by a lush forest canopy that blankets the Sierra Madre de Chiapas mountains. 

The coffee-cultivating Soconusco region borders Guatemala's Huehuetenango department, sharing the area's complex characteristics and rich, balanced chocolate tones. Over one-third of Soconusco's arable land is dedicated to coffee production, and the region holds a long history of producing substantial volumes. Arabica coffee from Mexico is traditionally washed processed. 

With a delightful flavor profile that includes milk chocolate, roasted almond, raisin and citrus, this coffee, with gentle acidity. is a classic example of Chiapas' agricultural excellence.
