The Story

This Fair Trade Organic lot comes from the women producers of the Comon Yaj Noptic cooperative in Chiapas — a group founded in 1995 by smallholder farmers living in the buffer zone of the El Triunfo Biosphere Reserve, one of the most biologically diverse cloud forests in the world.

Growing coffee in this region means working in lush, high-elevation terrain with fertile volcanic soils and heirloom varieties like Typica, Bourbon, and Mundo Novo. Despite the remoteness of the area, the cooperative has developed a strong reputation for quality and sustainable practices.

This women-produced lot receives a dedicated premium that goes directly to the female growers, supporting gender equity and community development. It’s meaningful coffee with purpose behind every pound.

• Pour-Over & Drip: clean cocoa sweetness, bright citrus, and smooth balance
