Journey through Mexico’s remarkable landscapes, where snow-capped mountains give way to lush cloud forests, sweeping deserts and sun-drenched coastlines. Nestled between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, the country’s unique location creates a rich variety of microclimates, each shaping its diverse agricultural landscape. Mexico has a rich agricultural heritage dating back to the late 1700s. Today, it stands proudly as one of the world’s largest exporters of premium organic coffees. We are thrilled to share this well-kept secret with you.
The Heart of Chiapas
At the heart of this thriving coffee culture is the majestic region of Chiapas. Producing fourty percent of the country’s total yield, Chiapas is renowned for its rich volcanic soils and high-altitude environments. It is here, nestled right along the Guatemalan border in Motozintla, the capital city of Sierra Mariscal, that our exceptional coffee is grown. This stunning landscape creates the perfect canvas for cultivating beautifully complex, balanced coffees that range from delicately light to richly sweet.
Empowering Local Farmers
Every cup of our coffee tells a powerful story of resilience. Following the Mexican Revolution in the 1920s, large haciendas were broken up and redistributed to indigenous communities. Today, coffee is lovingly cultivated by dedicated smallholder farmers on just a few hectares of land. Overcoming historical industry crises, these farmers have united to form empowering cooperatives. These cooperatives provide vital agricultural training, financial support, and marketing assistance, ensuring sustainable farming practices thrive while continually supporting local indigenous producers.
Why You Will Love Las Hortensias
Through Las Hortensias we are immensely proud to showcase the true potential of organic Mexican coffee. This meticulously washed selection delivers a wonderfully balanced flavour profile, singing with comforting notes of bright mandarin, smooth milk chocolate and toffee.
Las Hortensias proudly holds the prestigious SHG (Strictly High Grown) and EP (European Preparation) classifications. Grown at breathtaking elevations between 1,300 and 1,700 meters above sea level, the coffee cherries mature slowly. This extended growth period concentrates natural sugars within the bean, resulting in a denser, profoundly flavourful cup. The European Preparation designation ensures that only the absolute finest, carefully hand-sorted beans make it into your cup.
Beyond its exquisite taste, Las Hortensias is fully Certified Organic. When you brew a pot of this exceptional coffee, you are not just enjoying a premium morning ritual; you are directly supporting rural development, sustainable agriculture, and the vibrant heritage of Mexican smallholder farmers.
Experience the warmth, deep tradition, and extraordinary flavours of Chiapas in every single sip. We are absolutely delighted to offer you this incredibly fine cup. We invite you to add Las Hortensias to your daily routine and discover the remarkable satisfying hidden treasure of Mexican specialty coffee today.
