Story
This coffee means a lot to us. Years ago, while on vacation in Nayarit, we spotted a coffee farm perched on a hillside. Visiting the community and later partnering with ASTAL and San Cristobal Coffee to bring their coffee into our cafes has been a meaningful journey rooted in relationship coffee.
ASTAL is based in the community of La Yerba, where the local economy depends on two main crops, avocados and coffee. Because these harvests happen back to back, income is only generated during part of the year. Through collaboration with CAFESUMEX and San Cristobal, farmers receive a quality based price adjustment four to six months after harvest. This support arrives at a critical time, when financial opportunities are otherwise limited.
