This washed Maragogype comes from smallholder producers in Edelmira Coffee’s network in the highlands of Chiapas, southern Mexico. Farms are situated between roughly 1,300 and 2,000 masl, where coffee is grown under shade, and cherries are delivered to local wet mills for processing. The result is a clean, structured expression of this large-beaned variety that still feels very rooted in Chiapas.

“After our earlier one-off lots of rare, experimental Maragogype, we wanted a more classic version that could stay in the line-up for longer. This is Edelmira’s washed Maragogype, roasted just a touch darker so it works both as an espresso and as filter. In the cup it is super creamy, caramelly, sweet and citrusy, with clarity and freshness and a long, syrupy finish.”

Many of the farmers in Edelmira’s network usually grow varieties such as Bourbon, Catimor and Caturra. This lot comes from small plots of Maragogype that they have chosen to maintain and renew, keeping the variety alive in Chiapas while earning quality-based premiums. Through our Impact Trade partnership, this coffee also supports Edelmira’s community projects in rural Chiapas, including school connectivity initiatives in villages like Emiliano Zapata.

Thuti is one of the smaller washing stations in Nyeri, tucked beneath the Karima Forest Reserve in the foothills of Mt. Kenya. It was established in 1958 and remains part of the Othaya Farmers’ Cooperative Society, a group that includes 18 stations across the region. Thuti’s 380 active members grow mainly SL28 and SL34 on small farms between 1700 and 1890 masl.

"This marks the first Kenya coffee in our lineup in several years. We’ve been selective in choosing one that shows the qualities we value most from the origin. Poma Coffee shared some samples from producers they work closely with and this lot stood out immediately. It offers a lighter expression of the classic Kenyan profile, with a clean, bright acidity and flavours of rhubarb and black currant.

Poma is a Danish-based coffee research company. They have been advising several farmer cooperatives and washing stations in Kenya. This coffee is from their network"
