About the coffee:
Over 150 members of smallholder coffee growers in the Central Highlands of Chiapas each grow, harvest and process their own coffee to be delivered to the cooperative for grading and export. Every producer grows their coffee organically and the cooperative holds USDA Organic certification. Most members are of the indigenous Mayan Tzeltal culture and speak the native Tzeltal language. The Tzeltal word Kulaktik means vine.
