- FRESHNESS
All coffee is shipped between 1 to 14 days after roasting. While freshness is often ideal, coffee actually benefits from a resting period. For the best flavour, we recommend letting your beans rest for at least 14 days post-roast. This allows time for proper degassing, resulting in more even extraction, a smoother, more balanced cup, and the full expression of the coffee’s flavour potential.

- GRINDING
We always recommend grinding your beans fresh before brewing for the best flavour and aroma. But if you prefer, we’re happy to grind them for you — just select your grind size when you place your order.

With every coffee subscription, you'll receive 1 or 2 bags of freshly roasted coffee beans — available in 150g, 350g, or 1kg sizes — depending on your choice. You can opt for deliveries every 2 weeks or every 4 weeks.

This is a recurring order with no binding period — you're free to edit, pause, or cancel your subscription anytime based on your coffee consumption needs.

Azahar Coffee | Pedro Lopez Mendez

Pedro López Méndez starts each day with the first light touching the hills of Nuevo Tenejapa, where his farm, La Vaqueta, flourishes at 1410 meters above sea level. For over a decade, he has lovingly cultivated coffee alongside his family, passing down his knowledge from his grandfather. Each bean is carefully nurtured, from hand-picking the ripest cherries to the meticulous washing process that brings out its bright, clean flavors. Coffee is not just Pedro's livelihood; it's a testament to his deep connection to the land, his heritage, and his community, representing resilience, pride, and hope for his family's future.

IMPACT

Azahar works to ensure a coffee farm can generate a stable income. A cornerstone of our business is providing stable prices to farmers that align with improving income levels as defined by a Sustainable Coffee Buyer’s Guide.

We pay these prices in exchange for high-quality coffee to empower reinvestment in farms and families. Typical green coffee supply networks are overly tied to the volatile commodity market without systems in place to protect producer incomes.

Azahar works to ensure a coffee farm can generate a stable income. We collaborate with producer partners to develop quality parameters that unlock potential and
facilitate market access.

While we aspire to ensure producers we work with can
realize tangible, positive financial outcomes as they commercialize their coffee, we acknowledge that for too many who produce it, its future is threatened. Not just by environmental factors, like changing temperatures and rainfall patterns, but also by systemic poverty endemic among coffee producers from deference to the commodities market.
