This coffee comes from a group of small producers who harvest and produce the beans using traditional farming methods. Siltepec is a high altitude, shade grown coffee, which is craft de-pulped, fermented, washed and sun dried. The plantations are located in the Chiapas State of Mexico, near the Biosphere Reserve El Triunfo, which was named in 1972 as a natural area to preserve the quetzal bird (which only lives in this area). In 1990 the reserve became a federal protected area with an extension of 119,000 hectares. The biosphere hosts 11 of the 18 recognised vegetation types in the Chiapas, totalling around 1,500 species. The Chiapas territory as a whole hosts around 3.000 species of flora.
