San Pedro Ocopetatillo

This is our fourth year working with coffee from Mazateca and the second time we have purchased this lot specifically from the municipality of San Pedro Ocopetatillo.. Sierra Mazateca is part of the Sierra Madre de Oaxaca mountain range, located in the far north of Oaxaca state. The area is named after the indigenous Mazatec people who live in this area. Unlike in many other Central American countries, Mexico is full of very small coffee producers - some producing as little as 5-10 kg per year. The limited quantities do not mean quality is low; often quite the opposite is true. What makes Oaxaca an especially unique area of Mexico for coffee is that the internal market is also very willing to buy Oaxacan coffees.
