Chiapas El Triunfo Fair Trade, Organic,Shade Grown
The coffee that we currently are marketing comes from the misty mountains of the Mexican state of Chiapas (a couple hours north of the Guatemala Border). This is a well balanced Arabica coffee with subtle undertones off chocolate and nuts. The producers come from a Co-Op that uses proceeds to protect the "El Triunfo" Biosphere reserve. Some of the coffee plantations secondary canopy are among the last refuges for some neo-tropical migrant bird species.
