Our Fair-Trade Organic coffee from Mexico comes from several different cooperatives in the
southern Mexican state of Chiapas, along the buffer zone of El Triunfo Biosphere Reserve, one
of the world's most diverse forest reserves. In the highlands of the Sierra Madre de Chiapas, the
reserve contains Mesoamerica's largest continuous cloud forest, and is a refuge for thousands
of plant and animal species. All of the coffee produce here is shade grown. The coffee is de-
pulped the same day it's harvested, then given a 12–18-hour fermentation in tanks or buckets
before being washed clean of mucilage and dried. Drying typically takes place on patios or in
mechanical dryers. The Cup: Mild graham and pecan flavors with mellow tart acidity and
sweetness.
