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. The coffee is depulped 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: Mellow and sweet with
citric acidity, cocoa, herbal, and almond flavors.
