What
is wild Rainforest grown coffee?
Frog Friendly's coffee beans grow wild within the Rainforest as opposed
to a sun or shade plantation.
The
beans mature slowly in the shaded mists of five-hundred
year old trees in the rainforest. After ten-month
ripening period, they are harvested respectively
by hand by the surviving ancestors of the indigenous
Mayan people and brought down the mountain on donkey-back.
In the village the beans are then hand cleaned
and dried in the sun before being packed for export.
This slow growing and natural processing provides our coffee with its
distinct flavor. One that is warm, rich and memorable.
The decision to make Frog Friendly coffee is based on the discovery of
an incredible product and a truly amazing group of people, One has fed
the other as long as the mountains of Oaxca have been covered with the
wild growing rustica bean.
The trade generated by these beans has created an important income stream
for the Mountain people of Oaxaca and the small villages of the old Mayan
trading routes. These people represent some of the very last Maya tribes
of Latin America, and are the descendents of the Olmec, or “Cloud
People”. Their beliefs are centered around a respectful relationship
between the people and their natural environment.
A
portion of what you pay for Frog Friendly coffee
goes to supporting the tribes that harvest it,
helping them flourish while maintaining independence,
staying culturally intact and at the same time
stabilizing one of the largest Rainforests in
the world.
