Beneficio Comunitario San Pedro was established in 2018, marking the beginning of a new way for a group of coffee growers to build relationships within their community. This initiative has grown into a continuous exchange of knowledge and learning.
Their goal is to cultivate true partnerships with producers—relationships that transcend mere transactions. As work partners, they listen, ask questions, contribute, collaborate, and support each other. These interactions often lead to personal connections that deepen their bond and enhance their shared commitment.
Today, 120 producers from Cotzilnam and six nearby communities participated in this initiative. These farmers, predominantly men, are dedicated to cultivating traditional coffee varieties like Typica, Bourbon, Caturra, and the newer Garnica. They employ mostly organic or low-intervention practices, which contribute to the exceptional cup profiles their coffees are known for. Despite the challenges of low production and planting density, they rely heavily on family labor during the harvest season. This year, they processed approximately 63 tons of fresh coffee cherries.
This lot of Typica, Bourbon & Caturra coffee underwent honey processed with 25 hours of fermentation before pulping inside hermetic bags with an average of 17 brix degrees and sun-dried on raised beds for 12 days and rested in sacks in the shade for 17 days.
REGION
Chiapas, located in southern Mexico, is a region celebrated for its diverse landscapes and rich cultural heritage. Its mountainous terrain, with altitudes ranging from 1,200 to 1,800 meters, provides the perfect environment for cultivating high-quality coffee. The combination of fertile volcanic soils, abundant rainfall, and varying microclimates allows Chiapas to produce coffees with distinctive flavor profiles, often characterized by bright acidity, fruity notes, and a smooth body. The coffee tradition in Chiapas is deeply rooted in the lives of its indigenous communities, who have been farming the land for generations.
