Our coffee is planted, cared for and harvested in the Bule area in the highlands of the Oaxaca coast.
With 50 years working on the farms in the Bule area in the mountains of the Oaxaca coast, our purpose for the Café Bule project is mainly to produce 100% organic coffee to offer it to markets that demand the best coffee in quality, flavor and smell.
All our crops are free of chemical fertilizers, fertilizers and pesticides. Organic coffee in Mexico is grown under shade, that is, the coffee bushes are grown interspersed with various trees such as orange, banana, lemon, avocado. In the forest, sweeping is done by removing grass to prepare the land for planting the coffee tree, all the organic material is returned as compost to enrich the land, the vegetation cover that is maintained allows water to be retained and filtered to the underground rivers thus avoiding landslides in the area.
Thanks to the Café Bule project and its artisanal process of the coffee bean, it allows to give work to the people of the region almost all year round since it involves the minimum use of machinery, this way rewards the work with decent salaries, they have been acquired land where houses were built with the essential services for a decent life Our Coffee Estate in the mountainous Sierra gives us fruit, Coffee, Cacao and Honey amongst other delicious foods for 50 years now.
