Hampelmann was easy to pick. The meaning is "Jumping Jack" and let's be honest, after a Hampelmann coffee in the morning, you are ready to do your jumping jacks.
The other meaning to Hampelmann is "muppet". There might be an insider joke hidden here as well, but we won't delve into any details here.
Collection of farms – Sierra Madre de Chiapas cooperative
Chiapas is the oldest and largest coffee-producing area in Mexico, blessed with a plethora of microclimates influenced by the Pacific Ocean to the west and the Atlantic to the east. The soaring slopes of the Sierra Madre de Chiapas divide the state as they make their way to the border with Guatemala. High altitudes, abundant rains and rich, volcanic soil create ideal growing conditions. Light forests of indigenous trees shade coffee crops whilst providing critical protection to a diversity of wildlife.
Such dynamic conditions require focussed skill and a lifetime of dedication from the smallholders who are most attuned to the natural elements. Individual producers hand pulp, ferment in small tanks and dry parchment on their patios. The cooperative-owned dry mill works closely with the farmers to ensure their meticulous attention to detail shines as they complete the final preparations for export.
