History

The majestic Mazateca mountain range, peaking above 2000 masl, gets its name from its people, the indigenous Mazatecos. Their ancestral production techniques are free of chemicals and the coffee grows in agroforestry among other crops and trees.

Ensambles has set up a regional operation in la Mazateca to be able to buy parchment directly from nearby smallholders, while providing direct feedback and technical assistance in the field.

Many women work the lands of this sought-after coffee origin, and this coffee pays them tribute since it is blend of nanolots of women producers only. When a coffee is delivered by a woman, we make a point of paying them directly so they can decide what to do with their money.
