A selection of fine coffees from small-scale farmers in Oaxaca and Chiapas, Mexico, chosen for their origin, their altitude and their cup. Each one with its own brand and its own story.

Oaxaca is best understood through its altitudes. That journey, from the traditions of the city to the mountain coffee farms and the moist air of the Pacific, is what we look for in every coffee we choose.
Oaxaca City, at about 1,550 meters (5,100 ft), keeps the culture and the coffee rituals we inherited: café de olla, beans ground fresh and shared at the table.
In the mountains of Oaxaca and Chiapas, coffee grows in the shade of the forest. Altitude and shade let the beans ripen slowly and develop body, aroma and sweetness.
In the Sierra Sur, humid air from the Pacific meets the mountains and turns into mist and rain. That cloud forest is part of the smooth, fruity character of its coffees.
We know the region, community and organization each coffee comes from, and we say so on every bag.
We favor mountain coffees grown under forest shade.
Every coffee is cupped before it joins the Selection. We only choose the ones we love in the cup.
If it says organic, it has a current certificate. And every bag shows its lot and roast date.
Origin
In the mountains of Oaxaca and Chiapas, thousands of farming and Indigenous families grow coffee under shade, on small plots, using methods that protect the soil and water. Organized into cooperatives, they process and sell their coffee together to earn a fair price.
The coffee regions of Oaxaca and Chiapas combine altitude, shade and a mountain climate, conditions that favor a clean, aromatic cup.
We only represent coffee with a current, verifiable organic certification. If there is no certificate, we don't call it organic.
We work with small-farmer organizations. Every bag sold strengthens the communities that grow the coffee.
Producers
We don't hide the producer behind a generic label. We present each cooperative's coffee with its name, its region and its people, so you know exactly where your coffee comes from.
How we work
We verify that every cooperative is a genuine producer organization and that its certificates are current.
Every coffee goes through professional cupping before it's offered. We only sell what we would drink ourselves.
We require valve bags with lot and roast date, and we rotate inventory so it reaches you fresh.
Through Amazon, with fast delivery, secure payment and easy returns.

No. Organic refers to how coffee is grown: without synthetic agrochemicals, backed by a certificate. Specialty refers to cup quality, as scored by professional cuppers. A coffee can be one, the other or both. For every product we'll tell you clearly what it is and which document proves it.
It's a system in which small-farmer organizations receive a price that covers their costs and lets them invest in their communities. The best-known certifications are Fairtrade and the Small Producers' Symbol (SPP).

Whole bean keeps its aroma longer; grind it right before brewing. If you don't have a grinder, a medium grind works well for drip coffee makers and French press.
