Claudio Díaz is a young coffee producer from Chiapas, Mexico, a devoted father, and the proud winner of the 9th edition of the prestigious Cafeología Award. His path in coffee is rooted in passion, perseverance, and a strong commitment to quality.
For Claudio, coffee is more than a livelihood, it represents the heartbeat of his family. Each harvest is a shared journey with his father, who is also a coffee grower, blending tradition with innovation to build a legacy that connects generations.
This lot was pulped and washed, undergoing approximately 45 hours of controlled fermentation. Drying began with one day on tarps for drainage, followed by 7–8 days on raised beds under direct sunlight, with frequent turning until the parchment reached stability.
Chiapas, located in southern Mexico, is a region celebrated for its diverse landscapes and rich cultural heritage. Its mountainous terrain, with altitudes ranging from 1,200 to 1,800 meters, provides the perfect environment for cultivating high-quality coffee. The combination of fertile volcanic soils, abundant rainfall, and varying microclimates allows Chiapas to produce coffees with distinctive flavor profiles, often characterized by bright acidity, fruity notes, and a smooth body.
The coffee tradition in Chiapas is deeply rooted in the lives of its indigenous communities, who have been farming the land for generations. These smallholder farmers are committed to sustainable practices, preserving both the environment and their cultural legacy. Chiapas coffee is not just a product; it’s a reflection of the region’s natural beauty and the dedication of its people to crafting exceptional coffee.
