Chiapas, Mexico's largest coffee-producing area by volume, is home to CAFECO, a cooperatively run organization founded in 2016.
CAFECO represents the work of over 540 smallholder farmers and provides financial and educational support in the cultivation and sale of their coffees. Farmers sell their coffee to CAFECO, which bulks them into lots sold as Tongas, which are grouped and sold based on quality, uniformity in flavor, and variety. CAFECO collaborates with farms that prioritize environmental sustainability, utilizing organic practices in their harvests each year. This lot is a combination of three varieties, Bourbón, Marsellesa, and Caturra. It’s bright, floral, and sweet—with notes of melon, cacao, and an aroma of fresh flowers.
