It is said that the coffee tree was transplanted to Mexico by a Spaniard from the West Indies at the end of the 18th century. The excellent Mexican coffee has a comfortable taste, mellow taste, moderate acidity, mild and meticulous, and pleasant aroma.

Mexico is located at the northern end of Central America, the uppermost edge of the coffee production belt, the coffee producing areas of coatepec (Cortepe) and veracruz (Veracruz) in the north, the Pluma coffee in the Oaxac (Oaxaca) region in the middle, and the Chiapas (Chiapas) Highlands on the southern border with the Malavitte fruit producing region in Guatemala. The vast majority of Mexican coffee is washed Arabica coffee, which is characterized by a very strong special aroma, a bit like overfermented fruit. Chiapas (Chiapas) beans at the southernmost tip of Mexico have a mild and delicate taste and a very special aroma.

Mexican coffee is a kind of "essence washed" coffee beans, grown in humid jungle mountains. And these coffee estates are located in humid mountain areas at low elevations. Most of the products are sold to the United States.

CESMACH stands for Campesinos Ecol ó gicosde la Sierra Madre de Chiapas in Spanish (Alliance for Ecological cultivation of Alpine forests in Chiapas, Mexico) The cooperative was established in 1994 and is located in the ecologically rich El Triunfo region of Mexico. Coffee farmers grow coffee in the shade of the fog forest in an organic way in order not to destroy the natural ecology. Although this environment limits the planting area of coffee, the rotten leaves under the shade provide fertilizer nutrition for the coffee tree, and the diverse birds in the ecological area also control the pests of the coffee tree.

CESMACH cooperatives use community development funds provided by Fair Trade to build warehouses to provide sufficient space and equipment for coffee storage and packaging, so as to improve quality and reduce costs.

In addition to being environmentally friendly, CESMACH cooperatives are also committed to women's empowerment. Because their husbands often have to move to other areas because of their work, many women have to take care of the whole family and often face the plight of insufficient income and lack of food.

The CESMACH Cooperative is a member of the Caf é Femenino Foundation. Caf é Femenino has long focused on women in coffee producing areas around the world, providing multiple income channels, and developing women's leadership and cooperative management, hoping to change the unfair and long-term neglect of women and develop their self-confidence and independence.

The collapse of the coffee agreement (Coffee Agreement) and the disappearance of price support have actually helped some producers by forcing them to develop their own brands and gain closer ties with foreign markets, while the NAFTA agreement between Canada, the United States and Mexico will further help Mexican products export to North America. Some people think that the best giant coffee beans are made in Mexico rather than Guatemala, but the supply and quality of coffee beans in both places can vary. The coffee beans, known as Maragogype, are large-grained and produce coffee that is smooth, mellow and fragrant. The poverty of farmers has caused most coffee to grow under natural conditions, that is, without the use of chemicals such as insecticides or fertilizers.
