Tasting Notes

Grown in the mountains around the village of Motozintla, this high grown coffee has an intense nutty aroma. Bright and light bodied, we find a distinct citrul flavor, brown sugar and a spicy lingering finish.

About the Coffee

This coffee is produced by Campesinos Ecológicos de la Sierra Madre de Chiapas (CESMACH), a fair-trade and organic certified coop located within the buffer zone of El Triunfo Biosphere Reserve. Located in the highlands of the Sierra Madre de Chiapas, El Triunfo Biosphere Reserve is one of the world’s most diverse forest reserves. This reserve contains Mesoamerica’s largest continuous cloud forest, and it serves as a refuge to thousands of plant and animal species. El Triunfo is a rare and valuable sanctuary that requires continued protection, and CESMACH ensures this protection through various sustainable practices. All the coffee they produce is shade grown, and biological corridors are created in order to facilitate bird and animal migration.
