SHG EP - CHIAPAS
In the state of Chiapas you find Mexico’s largest and oldest coffee producing regions, some farms can look back on a history record of more than a hundred years. With the influence of the Atlantic Ocean on one side and the Pacific Ocean on the other, the mountains slopes of the Sierra Madre Chiapas crosses the region dividing the state and creating various special microclimates.
The higher altitude coffee on the Pacific side reaches all the way from 1100 meters up to 1600 masl and is bordered by Guatemala. Besides some famous estate coffees most coffee is grown by smallholders, often associated with cooperatives. Large wet mills are rarely found, most small farmers hand-pulp the coffee, ferment in small tanks and dry it on small patios in their backyards to perfection. Modern technology has not yet found its way to this area but it is not really missing.
In the area of the coffee villages of Chicomuselo and Comalapa we find the coffee which later becomes this excellent STRICTLY HIGH GROWN EP.
