The region's cool ocean breezes and distinct wet and dry seasons create ideal conditions for high-quality coffee — but reaching these farms is no small feat. Most producers live in town, with their land 2–3 hours away by foot or mule.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis lot comes from 15 families cultivating small plots within the municipality of San Agustín Loxicha. Communal labor traditions like \u003cem\u003etequio\u003c\/em\u003e remain central to harvest and farm upkeep, and the farms are richly biodiverse — shaded by native Cuachepil, Cuil, and avocado trees that nourish both the land and the community.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIn the Cup\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRich milk chocolate leads the way, supported by a sweet, creamy caramel body and a clean, bright finish with a crisp malic acidity reminiscent of green apple.
