Our Origin Select coffee this month comes from the highlands of the Sierra Madre de Chiapas in Mexico. El Triunfo Biosphere Reserve is one of the world’s most diverse forest reserves, serving as a refuge tothousands of plant and animal species. All the coffee they produce is shade-grown, and biological corridors are created in order to facilitate bird and animal migration. This area is humid and tropical, inhabited by small communities of producers who have formed cooperatives to gain stronger representation in the coffee market. These producers take pride in their land, growing coffee organically through methods passed down from generation to generation.

The Abadatezuka Cooperative is a group of smallholder farmers in Rwanda's Western Province who deliver their coffee in cherry to the Cyato Washing Station. We chose their coffee deliberately because of the tasting notes: the first sip almost suggests a dark hot cocoa, but then it takes a nice turn to bring the fruity, winey, berry notes. It's all balanced by a light mulling spice nuance…a real crowd pleaser! This coffee was intentionally processed utilizing anaerobic fermentation, which we find often brings out an increase in the intensity of fruit and acidity and a slight increase in the body.
