Brought to you in collaboration with our friends at Tamoa
The origin story of beans begins with Mexico – which is why we’re thrilled to work with Tamoa to highlight lesser-known varieties and regional practices of small farms in Mexico. It's our third collaboration together and the most exciting yet.
Sourcing notes
Growing region: Guerrero, Mexico
Farm: Telesfor Teresa
Grown on the coastal hills of Guerrero, Chaparro has been preciously preserved for generations. The community of Huamuchapa is famous for these beans, and any local can easily identify them from the distinct flavor, fragrant aroma, and rich broth. Harvesting is a family affair, everyone goes to the hills together and feasts on gorditas and beans cooked on a campfire as a midday meal.
