We are a coffee-farming family
In Jaltenango, Chiapas.
We were born with the firm purpose of being the ultimate pride and definitive benchmark of coffee quality throughout the region.
We work every day to show the world why Jaltenango de la Paz is the birthplace of the finest specialty coffees.
We bring the essence of our land to every corner of Mexico, delivering fresh coffee directly from our doors to your home or business.
All our processes are continuously monitored under C.A.F.E. Practices guidelines to ensure compliance with EUDR regulations.
We are under satellite monitoring by environmental authorities, operating as a buffer zone for the conservation and protection of the El Triunfo Biosphere Reserve.
We control every step of the process—from the seed to the bag that arrives in your hands anywhere in Mexico. Thanks to our parchment storage, you will always enjoy a fresh product with the exceptional quality that represents Jaltenango.
Every cup of Café Santa María travels a carefully supervised journey from the nursery seed to the final roast at our Chiapas facility.
We cultivate verified-origin specialty coffee that acts as a natural barrier for the conservation of the El Triunfo Biosphere Reserve.
Every exported batch features a verified lot under the C.A.F.E. Practices standard and complies with European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) standards.
We operate under the SEMS guidelines of LAAD Agribusiness, integrating continuous satellite monitoring against deforestation.
We keep the bean in its natural parchment, protecting its intact purity until the exact day of its roasting.
We integrate the entire process in our own plant to hull, grade, and roast your coffee in a single day.
Your coffee never waits on a shelf: we roast it exclusively to order to guarantee maximum freshness in your cup.

A natural anomaly where a single ovule develops in the cherry, concentrating all sugars and aromatics into one perfect sphere of intense, complex flavor.

Altos de Chiapas · 1,500–1,800 masl
Dried with mucilage to "caramelize" the fruit's natural sugars. A cup as sweet as honey, creamy and deeply aromatic.
