Mexico Unión Ramal Santa Cruz Fairtrade Organic is the work of 488 farmers in Fraylesca, in the Chiapas region of Mexico. Fraylesca is part of the El Triunfo Ecological Reserve. It lies between the flatlands of the Central Depression of Chiapas and the peaks of the Sierra Madre Mountain chain. The Biosphere Reserve in particular is a diverse evergreen cloud forest home to several threatened species (namely Geoffroy’s spider monkey, margay, jaguar and puma) and is critical for bird migration patterns. Warm, sub-humid climate, heavy rains, and stable temperatures make the area idea for agriculture of all kinds, particularly coffee. Mexico Unión Ramal Santa Cruz Fairtrade Organic is primarily cultivated under forest shade, across 1m414 hectares, at 900–1800 meters above sea level. Mexico Unión Ramal Santa Cruz Fairtrade Organic coffee is hand-picked at peak ripeness. The beans are washed by individual producer members in their respective micro wet mills. Finally, the coffee is sun dried on patios.
