Rosalba Cifuentes Tovia’s family has been growing coffee in Bella Vista for over a century, and Rosalba has dedicated herself to helping producers in the area. Rosalba’s story is powerful, and the work she does with Bella Vista is equally powerful. She was raised in the Bella Vista community, and has dedicated herself to helping small-scale producers in the area. She also works with female producers in the area to promote their coffees, improve quality, and move past the gender inequity in the region.

Thanks to her dedication, Mayan Harvest coffees get better and better every year. This is our fourth year purchasing from Mayan Harvest, and the first time we’ve offered from the Mayan Harvest Women’s Group. We taste cinnamon, caramel, and apple cider; we think this is a shining example of the beauty Mexican coffees have to offer. We hope you love it as much as we do!

Sourced from the Bella Vista Municipality in Chiapas, Mexico, the Bella Vista Mayan Harvest Women's Group lot represents the collective efforts of 168 small-scale family farms. This coffee is processed using the fully washed method, a technique often utilized to highlight the inherent clarity and acidity of the bean. While washed coffees are frequently celebrated for their clean, vibrant profiles, this specific selection from Little Waves Coffee Roasters offers a distinct sensory experience characterized by notes of cinnamon, caramel, and apple cider.

When evaluating such nuanced profiles, enthusiasts often consult a flavor wheel to better identify the complex interplay between sweetness and spice. Grown at 1550 masl, this bulk offering showcases the dedication of the women’s group to consistent quality and regional expression. By focusing on traditional processing and careful cultivation, these producers deliver a cup that balances comforting, dessert-like warmth with the crisp, refreshing qualities typical of high-elevation Mexican coffee.
