In the rugged highlands of Puebla, near the towns of Cuetzalan and Zacapoaxtla, coffee farmers continue a tradition that has been nurtured for generations. This region, located at 1,300 meters in the Sierra Norte, is a testament to the region’s deep-rooted connection to coffee production. The mist-laden forests and fertile volcanic soils provide the perfect backdrop for the farmers’ work, which is a balance of tradition and innovation.

Every morning, you can find farmers walking the rows of coffee plants, inspecting the health of the trees and the ripeness of the cherries. They cultivate varieties such as Caturra and Mundo Novo, both of which are well-suited to the unique climate of the region. The harvest season is an intense but rewarding time. The farmers ensure that only the ripest cherries are handpicked, a practice that guarantees the highest quality beans. For them, coffee is not just a crop; it’s a legacy that reflects the land and the people who cultivate it.
