It has been Rainforest Alliance certified since 2006 and is continually implementing good environmental and social practices. On the property are a school for the children of the workers, including those who arrive for the harvest; housing for all employees; and a kitchen that feeds them all.

Country of origin
“While little is known of its earliest years, in 1860 it belonged to Matias Romero—a protege of Mexican president Benito Juarez who acquainted himself with American politicians and business leaders and became a secretary of legal affairs in the United States and later negotiated the U.S.-Mexico Claims Agreement of 1868 that facilitated Mexico’s credit rating with U.S.” the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)
Region
“Muxbal’s history as a coffee farm goes back to the late 1700s, when Chiapas was still part of Guatemala.” the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)
Processing
“Processing high-end natural, washed, honey and single varietal lots has been an investment (Muxbal has constructed raised beds as well as a covered drying room for honey process coffees) and a risk.” the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)
A further 1 fact on this page was read from part of the shop page that holds no sentence — a menu or a product grid — so there is nothing to quote for it.
Taken from the roaster’s own pages, and nothing here has been verified by us or by an independent body. What we store is a passage of page text cut around the fact, so one shown with an ellipsis is a passage we cannot see the start or the end of; only the fully quoted ones are complete sentences.
