Café Mam 100% Organic Shade Grown Coffee is excellent coffee. Native Mayan farmers living in the highlands of Chiapas, Mexico grow this wonderful coffee. The growers, primarily from the Mam, Tzetzal, and Mocho peoples, believe that by taking care of the soil, they are taking care of the entire biosystem. Their belief and sustainable approach to agriculture benefit all of us.

This coffee is Fairly Traded, and Fair Trade Certified (TM) by TransFair USA, a guarantee that the farmers received a fair and living wage based coffee price for their harvest, which was grown on small, family-owned farms. The price per pound of coffee paid to the farmers is calculated to sustain and support a family in the region.
