A cooperative of family farms supplying exceptional beans from Chiapas.
Carlos was born and raised in Chiapas and learned roasting from his grandfather. He brings sensory-driven adjustments and small-batch precision to every personalized blend.
"Coffee is a conversation between the grower, the roaster, and the drinker. My job is to translate the language of the bean into something that speaks directly to your palate."
He uses a notation system to capture roast and flavor cues, allowing him to iterate and refine flavors across shipments according to customer feedback.
The Chiapas Collective is a network of small family farms in the highlands of Chiapas. They cultivate beans using traditional, low-impact farming methods that produce complex and distinctive flavors.
Working directly with the collective allows us to source lots that highlight brightness, chocolate, and floral notes—giving our roasters the raw materials they need to craft personalized blends.
Connect With the Collective
We pay farmers directly and maintain close communication to ensure quality and fairness.
Many farms are 1-10 hectares and use hands-on, traditional methods that respect the land.
Working with a collective allows us to trace lots back to farms and maintain transparency about origin.
