Overview

We love this Mexican coffee for it's comforting but complex cup, the native Pluma Hidalgo variety brings exceptional flavours with plums, rich chocolate and a hint of spice. Roasted OMNI it's versatile for espresso and filter too.

Union San Pedro represents around 180 Mexican coffee producing families and is coordinated by Salomon Garcia.

Salomon is originally from Xanica, one of the eight communities of San Pedro and he helped to establish the union back in the early 2000’s.

Along with the original leadership group, Salomon went on to found UNTAO to support the production of San Pedro as the union grew. UNTAO (Unión Nacional de Trabajadores Agrícolas Oaxaqueños) is the co-operative owned exporter and dry mill where this Mexican coffee is milled in Oaxaca city.

Origin

Union San Pedro unites eight sub-associations representing communities surrounding San Pedro El Alto in Oaxaca's Sierra Sur region. Under the leadership of Salomon Garcia, the association consists of around 180 coffee-producing families. It was Salomon who played a key role in founding UNTAO, a cooperative-owned exporter and dry mill, which handles coffee processing in Oaxaca city.

In recent years, Union San Pedro has focused on addressing issues faced by Oaxacan coffee farmers. They've funded experimental farms, improved coffee nurseries, and initiated reforestation with 'edible forests' to enhance land health and generate additional income streams. Furthermore, the association aims to combat youth migration by creating job opportunities, offering a solution to the aging population of coffee producers. The coffee produced in this region is a blend of Mundo Novo and Pluma Hidalgo varieties, both known for their unique qualities.

Worth every penny

I bought my first bag of this coffee from a stall at the farmers market and wow, what a taste. I've since ordered more, I really love the taste, it's far better than anything you can buy at the supermarket
