About This Coffee

This special washed lot was sourced from 40 women farmers in the community of Villa Corzo in La Concordia, Chiapas as part fo our Cafe Delas project. This is our first Cafe Delas coffee sourced from Mexico and the first of many from outside Brazil.

Café Delas was created to help women farmers access the resources, knowledge and voice they need to grow their operations to the fullest potential. Every Café Delas coffee is sourced 100% from women farmers and for every sale, a portion of the profit is reinvested in programs that promote gender equality and empower women in the field.

The Region

Coffee production in Villa Corzo, Chiapas, is a vital part of the local economy and a source of pride for the community. The region's unique combination of fertile soils, optimal altitudes, and favorable microclimates creates ideal conditions for growing high-quality coffee. Local farmers, many of whom are smallholders, use traditional cultivation methods, often incorporating organic practices to maintain soil health and enhance the flavor profiles of their beans. The coffee from Villa Corzo is known for its distinctive characteristics, including balanced acidity, rich body, and complex flavor notes that can range from chocolatey and nutty to fruity and floral. The dedication of Villa Corzo's coffee producers to sustainable and quality-focused farming practices ensures that their coffee stands out in the specialty market, contributing to the region's reputation as a premier coffee-growing area in Chiapas.

The La Concordia region is renowned for producing excellent coffee due to various factors such as: the agroclimatic conditions of the area, altitude, soils, great diversity of natural interactions and ofcourse, the people who through effort and care are able to produce the “Oro Verde” (green gold as it is called).

The Process

The small farmers in this region take an artisan approach to their production, taking their coffee from seed to dry parchment. The coffees are picked ripe, de-pulped and fermented for 12-17 hours. After the fermentation process, the coffee is then washed and sun dried on farmers’ yards or zarandas in order to deliver the best qualities and high-end profiles required.
