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.
