Chiapas Washed

Finca Las Chicharras, managed by E-Cafe Chiapas, placed 5th in Mexico's 2018 Cup of Excellence—an impressive achievement for a farm established in 2015. This award-winning operation not only produces exceptional coffee but also supports social programs, including the Icathus School for underprivileged children and community infrastructure projects. The coffee undergoes a meticulous process: handpicked, fermented for 10-14 hours, washed, and dried on raised beds at 30-35°C. After destoning, hulling, color sorting, and size grading, the result is a bright, Kenya-like coffee with vibrant acidity, showcasing the farm’s commitment to quality and community impact.
