Semi-Washed SHG/EP

The 212 Chiapas-area women growers who contributed coffee to this lot work just 1.8 hectares of land on average. They are smallholders, but they are united in their effort to eliminate gender inequality and expand economic opportunities for women in Mexico.

Coffee from Chiapas, the southernmost state in Mexico where the climate is humid and tropical, is distinguished for its delicate flavors and brisk acidity. Café de Mujer’s pineapple, berry, and mild caramel flavors pair beautifully with a bright passionfruit and citrus acidity. We consider it an exquisite showcase of the effort and talents these women have put into their product.

Semi-washed: very comparable to a honey. Some water is used in depulping, the outer skin is removed, the coffee is partially depulped, then stored for a short period of time. After that, it is washed to remove the rest of the mucilage.
