In the mountainous region of Jaltenango, Chiapas, more than 300 families are part of La Tribu, a local producer organization working across Jaltenango and the Sierra Madre. We purchase coffee through Bean Voyage, who has been partnering with La Tribu for the past few years, focusing our efforts on sourcing from 65 women producers within their network.
These women are not only producing high-quality coffee, they’re cultivating resilience and building thriving businesses for themselves and their families. Despite the structural challenges smallholder farmers often face, they continue to invest in their land, expand their knowledge, and work toward long-term stability. Through coffee, they are creating pathways toward economic autonomy and shared prosperity.
This year, they worked together to develop a decaf lot called Vayichil, a word that means “to dream” in Tzotzil, a Mayan language spoken in many communities throughout Chiapas. The name reflects both the care behind the coffee and the vision these producers carry for their futures.
We are pleased to share this incredible coffee with you. Produced by Aydy Ortiz, Lorena Munoz, Stefany Martinez—three incredible women from the Huila region of Colombia. It's silky smooth, and sweet, and works well as espresso and filter.
We purchased this lovely coffee from Amar Cafe Global, an incredible business that sources, exports, roasts, and brews Colombian coffees. They control their entire supply chain, which is what we like to see! They invest in training to help producers maximise the potential of their coffees.
