Mexican coffee making is a family tradition
For three generations, our family has tried to create the perfect coffee, one with the ideal balance of dark, nutty, and aromatic essences. We discovered these qualities in the Arabica beans that we use for Selva Maya that come from small family plantations located in remote areas of southern Mexico. Today we are proud to offer our quality coffees to the world.
How we start with organic Mexican coffee
The Balderrama family has been engaged in small batch coffee roasting in Mexico since 1936, when Prospero Balderrama contracted with indigenous Indian coffee producers to supply coffee beans from their small family plantations in the mountains and jungles of Mexico. The Balderrama family is known for having its excellent coffee, it has been one of its trademarks for three generations.
Our mission
Produce the best coffee possible and work honorably with select coffee producing families who share our commitment to making excellent coffee.
Giving back to the community
More than fair trade, at Selva Maya we believe in giving back to the producer communities, to help children in need, so we return a percentage of the profits to Mayan children, you can help by donating any amount at the time of check out, to that you will not only give yourself the best coffee, but you will also feed your soul.
