Farm info

Nelson is a young, hardworking, and committed producer whose vision is to bring a new coffee experience to his home and community. On his family’s small plot of land, he dedicates himself to caring for his coffee trees, seeing his farm not only as a livelihood but also as a place to experiment, learn, and build a future through coffee. His approach blends tradition with curiosity, always keeping in mind the role of coffee as a connector within his community.

This coffee comes to us through our partnership with Cafeología. Based in Chiapas, Mexico, Cafeología is dedicated to strengthening coffee communities by combining scientific research, education, and direct collaboration with producers. Their work supports farmers like Nelson, helping preserve traditional practices while fostering innovation and creating opportunities for future generations.

Region

Chiapas

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.
