Whole Bean Coffee
[MEX-A-KOH • KEE-SAH-YA]
Process: Washed
Apple Pie, Chocolate, Cashew
Smooth and elegant washed coffee from Mexico, chocolate with a subtle candied citrus finish.
This lot is fully traceable to woman-owned farmers operating as part of Cafe Delas woman producer program.
The name Ki-Saya comes 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.
Farmers in the areas where Ki-Saya coffee is sourced have improved their processing capabilities over the years, and now take great pride in delivering pristine parchment coffee that is some of the best in all of Mexico. Only the ripest, best cherries are selected; after depulping, the coffee ferments for 12 to 17 hours before being washed and dried on small drying patios next to farmers’ homes.
