Our Origin
FINCA IRLANDA, CHIAPAS, MÉXICO
Sustainability
In 1967, Walter Peters exported the first shipment of biodynamic organic coffee to Europe, becoming a world pioneer in producing agrochemical-free coffee at Finca Irlanda, located in the Soconusco region, Tapachula, Chiapas. Since then, this coffee has met the strict standards established for its sustainable certification.
