City Bean Mexico Chiapas (Ground)

Ki-Saya is our organic offering from Chiapas. The name comes form the combination of two words in the indigenous Mayan language of the area Ki, meaning "tasty" and Saayab, which means "nature". Coffee is the most important commercial crop in Chiapas and has a long history in the region, representing a significant source of income for small producers, some 44% of whom are indigenous, mostly Tzotzil and Tzeltal.

Farmers in the areas where Ki-Saya coffee is sourced have improved their processing capabilities over the years, and now take great pride in delivering pristine parchment coffee that is some of the best in all of Mexico. Only the ripest, best cherries are selected. Depulping the coffee ferments for 12 to 17 hours before being washed and dried on small drying patios next to famers homes.
