Chiapas, Mexico

Coffee production in Mexico’s southern state of Chiapas goes back to the 18th century. Chiapas lushy and mountainous environment offers exceptional conditions for coffee agriculture, with plots altitude ranging from 1300 to 2000 masl. Originally a dominant bourbon arabica region, local farmers turned massively to organic farming practices and introduced new crops from Central America over the last decade to improve plantations resistance to coffee rust while maintaining terroir cup profile of chocolate taste and clean acidity. In 2021, Mexico was the second biggest producer of organic coffee in the world.
