Flor De Privamera Organic, Mexico

Edelmira Coffee unites 35 families of small-scale coffee farmers in the heart of the UNESCO "El Triunfo" Biosphere Reserve, on the heights of Chiapas' Sierra Madre in Mexico. Amidst this lush environment, these producers practice agroforestry, cultivating coffee under natural tree shade. Over the last decade, high fertilizer costs - coupled with the Biosphere's protected status - shaped them into experts in nature-harmonized agriculture. Traditionally, local farmers sold their annual crops to middlemen, "coyotes," who would resell the green coffee multiple times, blending El Triunfo coffee cherries with lower-quality products. As a results, farmers didn't receive fair compensation for their efforts.

In 2020, farmers partnered with Edelmira to refine processing and marketing. Year round, they receive support from agronomists to enhance farming practices, perfect harvesting, and elevate coffee bean processing. The result of this collaboration is now in your hands: "Flor de Primavera."

The ripe cherries are manually picked and delivered every evening to the farm’s wet mill and then are floated in fresh water to be sorted by density and cleansed from impurities. Following that, the cherries pulped and beans are separated from cascara. Pulped beans are moved into concrete tanks to ferment during 18 hours while the skin and pulp of the cherries are recycled to create natural compost for the plantations. After fermentation, the coffee is fully washed in water and then dry on open air patios for 10 to 15 days until it reached the optimal moisture level of 11.5%.
