Café Sierra Azul was founded in 2010 by young people in Chiapas, Mexico looking for ways to build sustainable livelihoods in their own community. Located within the El Triunfo Biosphere Reserve — home to the largest evergreen cloud forest in Mesoamerica — the cooperative now has around 300 members, the vast majority of them young people and women. Through Sierra Azul, members access better markets, financing, technical assistance, and community development projects that wouldn't be available to them individually.
This is what farmer-owned looks like in practice: benefits that stay where the coffee grows.
In the cup: rich and versatile across roast levels. As a medium-dark, expect dark chocolate, toasted nuts, vanilla, caramel, and nutmeg — with a lush crema that makes it exceptional as espresso, clean as a batch brew, and beautiful alongside milk.
Elevation: 1,200–1,900 MASL
Process: Washed
Cultivar: Typica, Bourbon, Mundo Novo, Geisha
Impact: Women-led, Organic, Fair Trade
