MICOS DE NOCHE

Tapachula & Jaltenango de la Paz, Chiapas, México

CALIDAD STATEMENT

Named after the mico de noche—the night monkeys heard echoing through the forests of southern Chiapas—this coffee is a reflection of one of Mexico’s most biodiverse coffee-growing regions. Produced near the Guatemalan border and the Pacific coast, these coffees are cultivated in rich volcanic soils beneath native shade trees, where warm tropical lowlands meet cool mountain air. The result is a cup that feels alive: layered, fruit-forward, and deeply rooted in place.
