Cifuentes Family, Mexico 2026

This coffee is sourced from Eugenio Roblero, Froilan Roblero Cifuentes, Otoniel Roblero Cifuentes, and Omar Roblero Cifuentes, who are uncles and cousins to Rosalba Cifuentes Tovia. These four family-owned farms are located within the municipality of Bella Vista in the state of Chiapas, Mexico.

Rosalba Cifuentes Tovia, who was raised in the Bella Vista coffee community, has dedicated herself to helping producers with small plots of land (averaging 5 acres) earn a better price for their coffee. Rosalba ensures traceability for her community coffee by personally exporting the coffee directly to the Bay Area.

Rosalba also concerns herself with the small details like being sure to pull samples without piercing the producers bags, which has eliminated the cost for replacing damaged bags. These efforts allow producers to earn higher prices and reinvest in better agricultural practices and improve the livelihoods for their families.

This lot from Mexico's Chiapas region represents a multi-generational effort by the Roblero and Cifuentes families in Bella Vista. The collaboration among Eugenio Roblero, Froilan Roblero Cifuentes, Otoniel Roblero Cifuentes, and Omar Roblero Cifuentes reflects the continuity of coffee cultivation within family farming systems common to southern Mexico. Highwire Coffee Roasters has selected this lot for their 2026 offering, highlighting its appeal to specialty roasters seeking distinctive Mexican coffees.
