Mexican Chiapas “Cafe Femenino” – Fair Trade Organic

Taste: This bean boasts refreshing and light citrus and almond flavors.  With a medium mouthfeel, its great as an everyday single origin.  We also love to belnd this bean with something deeper, like a Kenya AA or Java Estate.

Roast: We like this Mexican on the lighter side, stopping just after 1st crack.

About: Cesmach’s farms are located in the buffer zone of the El Triunfo Biosphere National Reserve. Due to their location in a pristine cloud forest, each farmer abides by strict environmental controls including maintaining three layers of canopy of multiple native tree varietals.
Mexico faced a dramatic coffee rust outbreak starting in 2012, and Cesmach suffered losses of 40% of their total production with a decline in their cup quality at the time. They since made a significant investment in replanting coffee trees, planting primarily geisha and a mutation of their typical varietal bourbon which they found to be both high cup quality and rust resistant. Due their strategic long term approach, the crop is back to its high cup quality with notes of almond, cocoa, and cinnamon.
The women who participate in Café Femenino report that the biggest impacts they see are increased income through the premiums gained from Café Femenino coffee and income diversification projects including honey and raising hens. Nutrition rates for children have also improved through family garden and raising hens. Cesmach roasts and sells Café Femenino coffee locally, under the Fair Trade and Organic certifications. These proceeds support income for Café Femenino producers while the brand is gaining recognition in hotels, grocers, and local markets throughout Mexico.
