Ki-Saya is an organic offering from Chiapas. The name come from the combination of two words in the indigenous Mayan language of the area: Ki, meaning “tasty” and Saayab, which means “nature.” Coffee is the most important commercial crop in Chiapas and has a long history in the region, representing a significant source of income for small producers, some 44% of whom are indigenous, mostly Tzotzil and Tzeltal.
In the Tzeltal region, organic coffee production begins with a profound respect for the natural environment. Farmers prioritize the health and well-being of the land, avoiding the use of synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, and herbicides that can harm both the ecosystem and the consumer. Instead, they rely on traditional knowledge and organic inputs, such as compost and natural pest control methods, to nurture the coffee plants.
