COFFEES and HOT DRINKS
Our coffee is full-bodied and organic from Chiapas, Mexico. In making this commitment, we are choosing to support the Zapatista struggle against state- and market-driven economics. Autonomous Zapatista communities engage alternative forms of socio-economic self-management, whereby wealth and power is much more fairly distributed across the board.
