This coffee was the first organic coffee cultivated in Chiapas in 2025 by green coffee importers Covoya. They named it “Ki-Saya” after a combination of “Ki,” which means tasty, and “Saayab,” meaning nature in the Mayan dialect. This reflects the coffee’s connection between the dedication of the growers and the quality of land required to produce these beans.

It has been a long journey to grow specialty certified beans, with Covoya collaborating with these farmers for the past 15 years to enhance agricultural practices and build trust. Given that 44% of the population is indigenous, it is crucial to establish a strong bond to ensure a harmonious partnership.

In order to keep this quality consistent and ensure they continue to grow specialty beans, it all comes down to quality control. Only the best cherries are handpicked before being de-pulped and fermented for 12-17 hours before being washed and dried on large patios. The coffee is then meticulously sorted, ensuring any bits of dried cherry skin or over-fermented beans are removed, before they are transported to be milled.

The process of ‘cupping’ is used to give a coffee its quality score. We only source and roast speciality coffee, and for a coffee to be given this title, it must first receive a score of 80 or above. If it doesn’t get the score, it doesn’t get the name. We have a page all about coffee cupping if you want to find out more.

During the coffee roasting process, we never ‘over roast’ our coffee. Roasting is the time for us to show off the natural flavours and aromas in our coffees. If we were to roast a coffee too dark, these flavours and aromas would be lost and would be replaced with bitter and burnt tastes.  We won’t ever need to hide any of the flavours from our coffees as they are all of such high quality to start with. As a result of this, all our coffees have a natural sweetness, ready and waiting to be enjoyed.

All our coffees are very different from one another. Some have a more intense flavour, such as a toffee sweetness, while others have lighter, fruity flavours. Coffee farmers and workers do an incredible job of always producing a great product. As a way of saying thank you, we will roast their coffee to its full potential.

By purchasing coffee from us, you’ll be helping coffee farmers and their workers around the globe. We ensure that we pay between 30 and 150% more than the ‘going rate’ for our green beans. This gives the coffee farmers additional funds to invest in better living conditions and an even better harvest next year.

We aim to keep the supply chain as short as possible. This, in turn, means that more of what we pay makes it back to the coffee farmers and their farms.

Keep it up you awesome bunch.
