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 provide direct feedback and technical assistance in the field.

This coffee is called Tejao which means eagle’s nest in Mazateco. This word also refers to a small town in Oaxaca called Huautla, where we have our main lab.
