Origin and Plantation
The organically cultivated coffee comes from a cooperative of farmers from Jaltenango in the State of Chiapas in Southern Mexico. The farmers have started their cooperation in 2011 to resist the financial impact of the coffee leaf rust, a fungus. Together, they invested in the modernisation of their farms and were able to profit from each other’s knowledge. The coffee is cultivated at altitudes of 1,200 - 1,500 m, washed by hand and dried. The name is based on the popular fishing village Celestún located nearby, which is a reserve for flamingos and other aquatic birds.
Character and Taste
A perfect combination of a well-balanced, full-flavoured body and a mild acidity. The sweet, floral aroma and the chocolate notes make this coffee a real indulgence.
Particularities
Mexico is the world’s third-largest coffee-producing country. It is also a leader in organic coffee production. Mexico was one of the first countries to combat beetle infestations using bees. The majority of coffee-growing regions are situated at an altitude of over 1,000 metres above sea level. The main varieties grown are the Arabica varieties Bourbon and Typica.
