Background Details

Mexico Organic Chiapas Serrano Altura EP is sourced from family-owned farms organized around Productores Serranos de Cafe de Motozintla, which operates in 22 communities spread throughout the southern end of the Sierra Madre mountain range in the state of Chiapas, Mexico. Most of the farms have less than 10 acres of coffee cultivation with elevations reaching 1750 meters above sea level near El Triunfo biosphere reserve. Producers have a strong commitment to organic practices, which provides a protective buffer for more than 800 plant species and 390 bird species that make their home in El Triunfo. Each producer processes coffee with their own micro-wet mills and dry the coffee in the sun on patios before transporting the coffee in parchment to a centrally located dry mill facility where the coffee is prepared for export.
