The specialty coffee for November 2025 is: Mexico Chiapas
This specialty coffee comes from Tenejapa, a lively municipality in the highlands of Chiapas, Mexico. The region has a long history of coffee cultivation, mainly by the indigenous Tzeltal and Tzotzil farmers. The fertile land, high altitude, and unique microclimate provide optimal conditions for growing exceptional coffee beans.
These farmers are mainly descendants of the Tzeltal and Tzotzil, two indigenous groups in Chiapas. They have refined their techniques over generations and are closely connected to the coffee culture in the region. The collaboration with Café Cielo de Oro ensures fair prices and sustainable farming methods.
The coffee from Café Cielo de Oro is washed, which ensures clarity and a delicate complexity in flavor. After harvesting, the outer skin and pulp of the coffee cherry are immediately removed. The beans, covered with a sticky mucilage layer (a slimy substance found under the pulp), are then fermented in water tanks. After fermentation, the beans are washed to remove the mucilage and then dried.
