About Smallholder producers of Mexico
This coffee, named for the region it comes from in Oaxaca, is produced by a coop of about 120 active farmers, each with 1-2 hectares of land to work with. In 2013, the members of this coop broke off from a larger organization in order to focus more closely on quality and sell their coffee for a higher, more livable income.
Smallholder members bring their freshly picked ripe coffee cherries to the processing mill. Once there, each lot submitted is kept separate and after the coffeesgo through meticulous processing, they are screened for bean size, tested for moisture content, and cupped at least three times before being put together or sold as separate micro-lots.
