MEXICO Mayan Harvest Women's Group (JUN 22)

Mexico Mayan Harvest Women's Group is sourced from 168 family-owned farms located in communities within the municipality of Bella Vista in the state of Chiapas, Mexico. Rosalba Cifuentes Tovia, who was raised in the Bella Vista coffee community, has dedicated herself to helping producers with small plots of land (averaging 5 acres) earn a better price for their coffee. Rosalba ensures traceability for her communities coffee by personally exporting the coffee directly to the Bay Area.

Impact:

Through Mayan Harvest’s system of traceability and improved premiums returned directly to the women, this coffee recognizes their work and gives them financial empowerment.

Flavor:

The Mexico Mayan Harvest Women's Group has layers of chocolatey sweetness paired with a silky body and balanced acidity. We really enjoyed lighter roast styles that brought out notes of vanilla, pear, apple, nougat, semi-sweet chocolate and brown sugar. Darker roasts were equally delicious, displaying notes of graham cracker, toasted hazelnut, molasses, maple syrup, dark chocolate and clove. This is a great all-around coffee that works well in many brew methods and roast styles. We recommend it as a balanced and sweet batch brew that can hold up to milk and sugar or as a creamy single-origin espresso.
