Chiapas is the southernmost state in Mexico with a coastline along the Pacific Ocean to the South. The state borders the Guatemalan coffee-growing region of Huehuetenango.
This coffee comes from over 150 smallholder coffee growers in the Central Highlands region of Chiapas. Most members are of the indigenous Mayan Tzeltal culture and speak the Tzeltal language. The Tzeltal word “Kulaktik” means “vine.” Each member grows, harvests and processes their own coffee to be delivered to the cooperative for grading and export. Every producer grows their coffee organically and the cooperative holds USDA Organic certification.
The resulting cup reminds us of milk chocolate, honey and citrus.
