Description:

Siltepec is located in the center of Chiapas, and Siltepec El Jaguar comes from the high-altitude area of the Sierra Madre, bordering the biosphere reserve El Trifuno, which is the habitat of an Endemic Bird Area, “El Quetzal.” This ecological region represents 30 percent of the flora in all of the Chiapas territory.

The microclimate in this region creates a cloud forest, due the Soconuscu rainforest zone around the Novillero River. The weather is humid with lots of shade, cool conditions at night and excellent soil, which together create a perfect environment for the development of specialty coffee.

This coffee comes from a group of small producers who are involved in the NKG BLOOM initiative. The beans were harvested and processed by hand, then de-pulped, fermented, washed and finally dried in the sun.
