The Story

Imported by our friends at Crop to Cup:

"Margarita Cabrera Poblano grew up in a coffee farming household. As she came of age she took on increasing responsibility, thriving at cultivation, pruning, shade trees, and nurturing the soil. Her family has thrived as a result and she’s happy to see her children and grandchildren continuing in coffee. She takes extreme care with hygienic practices at all of their washing stations, assiduously cleaning fermentation tanks and pulpers after every batch.

"Margarita’s farm is named 'Ocotzalan', or 'among ocotes', which refers to a popular pine in the area known as ocote or ayacahuite in Nahuatl.

"Mexico is the world’s 7th-largest coffee producer, the largest exporter of organic coffees, and a fast-growing consumer of specialty coffee. 70 percent of Mexico’s crop comes from larger estates, concentrated around Veracruz, with the remaining thirty percent coming from some two million smallholders, spread around the country but mostly in the Southern states of Chiapas and Oaxaca."
