Nayarit is a state on the northeast side of Mexico, with over 100 small farmers and an average farm size of 4 hectares, under the shade of trees, and using natural--not chemical pesticides—which protects the natural environment. Nayarit doesn’t produce much volume, like Veracruz and Chiapas, but the coffees from this region have a more complex profile than the neighboring bigger states. For many years, coffees from Nayarit were blended with Veracruz coffees, and the traceability and profile of the region got lost. San Basilio is a brand we created with local farmers to present this exceptional coffee, recognizing the hard work and complex coffee that the region can offer.
