Mexico’s southernmost state, Chiapas, is home to a vibrant network of smallholder farmers whose livelihoods are closely tied to coffee. Farms stretch across the Sierra Madre de Chiapas mountains at elevations of 1,200–1,750 masl, where steady rainfall, fertile volcanic soils, and a dense forest canopy create ideal growing conditions.
The Chiapas region, bordering Guatemala’s Huehuetenango, shares many of the same complex cup qualities—chocolate-forward with a balanced sweetness and gentle fruit undertones—that have made the area one of Mexico’s most important coffee producers.
