Region: Ozolotepec, Oaxaca Elevation: 1500-2100 masl About: Ozolotepec is a small town high in the Southern Sierra Madre Mountains, three hours south of Oaxaca City. Many of the producers contributing to this lot are native Zapotec. The Zapotec civilization was one of the most highly developed cultures in pre-Colombian Mesoamerica. Among other achievements, it included a writing system and what archaeologists consider the first city of ancient Mesoamerica, Monte Albán, dating back to 1150 BCE. Our export partners at Caravela have been actively working in the region since 2018 and have seen participation in their education programs grow rapidly, now involving over 100 producers. Farmers in the area, working on small 1.5- to 3-hectare farms, primarily grow Bourbon and Typica varieties. They wash their coffees and dry them on concrete terraces covered with palm mats, a traditional method for the region. This coffee is sweet and approachable, with notes of brown sugar and apple Region: Ozolotepec, Oaxaca Elevation: 1500-2100 masl About: Ozolotepec is a small town high in the Southern Sierra Madre Mountains, three hours south of Oaxaca City.
