Chiapas is the most southern state of Mexico, bordering Guatemala. Coffee is the state’s most important cash crop first introduced in 1846 by Jeronimo Manchinelli with 1,500 seedlings from Guatemala. Today coffee production ranges from large plantations to small farmers and the region is Mexico’s second largest agricultural producer. The high altitude, good rainfall and soil types give the coffee its particular chocolate and nutty characteristics. European Preparation or EP refers to the grade of coffee, acceptable beans size and quality.
