Origin

The coffee comes from the Rancho Morelia farm. It is located in the southern Mexican state of Chiapas, a lush and mountainous region with a long tradition of coffee cultivation. 

The Rancho Morelia farm is a family business: Today, the brothers Jaime and Juan Cardenas jointly run the coffee farm, which was founded by their father 40 years ago. Jaime and Juan are also supported in turn by their sons.

To achieve a high coffee quality, they also go innovative ways: For example, the plantations of Rancho Morelia are cultivated in agroforestry and without agrochemical additives (0 fertilisers, 0 pesticides). In addition, the coffee is processed using the wet milling method: The pulp is removed and the coffee is fermented in water for 36 hours. It is then dried outdoors for up to 2 weeks.

The coffee comes from a plot 1'700 - 1'900 metres above sea level and grows on volcanic soils. Together with the careful processing, this results in a coffee of the highest quality with a balanced taste.
