TIL it's possible to purchase coffee grown by Zapatista Worker Cooperatives in Oventic, Mexico.

"We apologize, but we cannot ship coffee outside of the U.S."
Dang it
At least according to the wiki link in the post body, there are some EU distribution hubs as well, if you're out that way. Not sure what they are, though.
I think I found one in Hamburg, Germany: https://www.cafe-libertad.de/en I did not find a direct link to the Zapatista coffees, but one can just search the text on the site.
Also, this GoFundMe campaign is an old one, but still looks active: https://www.gofundme.com/f/zapatista-solidarity
Are we sure this is the case? It lets me select Canada and add all my address and CC details. I didn't hit Pay though. I don't want to submit an order they'd have to refund and them end up paying a bank for the transactions. 🤔
Thanks for the invidious link, by the way. Super classy and very appreciated!
You're quite welcome :D
Very cool. I wonder what the roast level is?
I'm not sure. It doesn't even have flavor notes on the page. I would assume about medium roast, though, as many small batches like this are taken to medium.
It's a medium roast.
Very nice, although I had a 50/50 blend of Zapatista and Juan Tama coffee (I believe they were helping out after paramilitaries burned down some facilities).
It's one of the only coffees that didn't affect my gut in a bad way. I'm not a connoisseur however it was certainly something I'd get again.
Believe it or not, Alex Jones sells his own line of Zapatista coffee called "Patriot blend"
¡Ya Basta -- con beber!
