A sister lot of coffee to Las Mazatecas, this is a community lot built from the fight and hard work of 20 indigenous me’phaa female coffee producers in Montaña Alta.
Despite neighbouring coffee-famous Oaxaca, and sharing the same mountain range, altitudes, varietals and climate, Guerrero remains largely unheard of in the Global North. The state’s tragic history with both narco and human trafficking, and the historical dominance of one coffee buying intermediary has made life here hard, particularly for women.
This project, an initiative of Ensambles director & agronomist Miguel Guevara, and Guerrero field coordinator and indigenous me’phaa women, Rebeca Oropeza, gives real market access to female coffee producers in the region.
Celebrate Las Guerreras!
Sustainability & Heritage:
The Me’phaa community has been central to preserving the unique agroforestry systems of Montaña Alta, which play a vital role in biodiversity conservation. With support from Ensambles Cafes Mexicanos, this coffee exemplifies the resilience and ingenuity of the producers, who carefully manage their land while producing high-quality coffee.
