Zapatista coffee supports indigenous rights

Zapatista coffee offers not only an amazing cup of joe, but a chance to do something good for those who have less. Cafe Rebelion, formerly know as The Human Bean Company, aims to develop a direct market for products from the Chiapas area of Mexico. Indigenous producers participate in all levels of advice, consent and participation of the coffee project.

Cafe Rebelion eliminates the middle man of the coffee production and enables the farmers of the Zapatista co-operatives to receive the maximum profits for their labors. The coffee is grown among the natural vegetation on indigenous communal land, as opposed to harsh, chemically produced coffee from the large, deforested coffee plantations.

Many people initially buy the Cafe Rebelion products, honey or coffee, in an effort to help with a worthy project. But after experiencing the purity of both the coffee and honey they come back time and again for the smoothe taste. I bought a bag of the light roast at our church and am now 100% devoted to the company and the coffee. I will never again be able to purchase Folger's or Kroger brand coffee. And with the added knowledge that this is a genuinely socially minded company, I can feel good about my addiction.
