San Isidro Mexico

Why we Love this Coffee:

This is a crushable coffee that is easy to love. This coffee has tons of milk chocolate and peanut brittle vibes, with a surprise orange blossom water note in the finish that feels like a little treat. If you are looking for an uncomplicated relationship to your morning, look no further. 

More About this Coffee:

Founded in 2020 in the Municipality of San Lucas Zoquiápam in the State of Oaxaca, San Isidro Zoquipam is located at an elevation of 1966 meters above sea level with a population belonging to the Mazatec ethnic group. The 90 families represented by this group grow Typica, Bourbon, Caturra and Mundo Novo. Mexico is for coffee lovers. Few origins offer such variety, such competency, and such short flights to the farm. While  often overlooked by their neighbors to the north, Mexico is the world’s 7th largest coffee producer, the largest exporter of organic coffees, and a fast-growing consumers of specialty coffee. Seventy percent of Mexico’s crop comes from larger estates, concentrated around Veracruz, with the remaining thirty percent coming from 2 million smallholders, spread around the country but mostly in the Southern States of Chiapas and Oaxaca. This is also where we find most of Mexico’s indigenous population, communities who moved higher and higher up mountain, onto smaller and smaller plots of land, first to get away from colonial Spain, and later pushed by larger landowners during decades of highly political land reforms. In this way Mexico’s agrarian, coffee and Puebla movements are intertwined.  

This coffee is brought to us through the work of the farmer co-operative Red 5 De Deciembre.
