Jaleo Coffee Roasters

A fine microlot from Satus, an association of growers who sell under the group's name rather than as individuals. Bourbon Rayado is a recent variety, most likely a natural mutation of Pink Bourbon in Huila.

Hugo comes from a line of women coffee growers (his great-grandmother, grandmother and mother) and has worked exclusively in specialty for about ten years, growing Pink Bourbon, Caturra, Cenicafé and Ombligón and running honey, natural and semi-washed processes. A returning favourite on the Jaleo menu.

Axol is based in Coatepec's cloud forest, where Gabriel Carmona runs production and processing. Garnica was bred in Mexico in the 1960s by INMECAFÉ (red Mundo Novo × yellow Caturra) and is known for fruity sweetness, a silky body and a long aftertaste.

From Tzeltal country in Tenejapa. Maribel and her sisters, denied land ownership by patriarchal tradition, built a project around processing and direct market links. Shade-grown, organically fed trees averaging 14 years old; Jaleo's fourth year buying their coffee.

From an elderly couple in Pavencul, a mostly Maya Mam community in the Sierra Madre de Chiapas. Collection and preparation are handled by the Cosechando Riqueza cooperative, which Jaleo has worked with since 2020; their coffees have become a cornerstone of the menu.

From the farm of Mario Mejía's father; Mario is a fourth-generation grower and agronomist who also runs Finca El Jardín and El Coyote. Floated cherry ferments 120 hours dry in sealed barrels in the coolest part of the farm before drying.

Neri, from a coffee family, is a producer and roaster obsessed with naturals; Jaleo met him in February 2023 and has carried his coffee every year since. Shade-grown Typica and Bourbon from neighbouring farms in the Ejido de San José Ixtepec: one of the fruitiest, most intense coffees they have tasted from Mexico.

Las Adelitas is a collective of campesina women building autonomy over their crops and fair local jobs. Their organic microlots ship in hand-embroidered sacks, an extra income between harvests.

Edwin returned from Bogotá in 2017 to help the family buy more land; San Isidro now has 5 ha (3.5 in coffee). Jaleo's third consecutive harvest through Monkaaba, which helps San Agustín producers reach better markets, imported by Semilla.
