This Coffee's Story

Named with a wink to the legendary
folk-rock band of the same name, this blend dances between light and dark
Mexican roasts for a cup with balance, rhythm, and plenty of soul.

Back in the day, we even kept the band
fueled on tour, with bags of this blend riding along in the van, helping them
hit the high notes on the long highways.

Smooth yet spirited, Aztec Two Step is proof that when you mix light and dark just right, you get harmony in every cup, but without the caffeine buzz. Call it coffee with a backbeat.

This Coffee's History

2009
Death Train Project

Prosthetics, job training and repatriation of Death Train victims

2013-2019
Combatting Roya, Bokashi Compost and Organic Education (PROISCH)

We supported hands-on training to strengthen organic cultivation practices, including the production of high-potency liquid fertilizers using the bokashi method. Farmers learned how to create and apply this system using locally available materials, making it practical for small spaces and easy to maintain.

2015-2018
Soil Carbon Restoration (PROISCH)
2017
Hurricane Relief (PROISCH)

We provided emergency assistance to 23 families for immediate food needs and essential home repairs following Hurricane Max. Support focused on helping families stabilize quickly, with resources directed where they were most needed in the days after the storm.

2020
Pandemic Emergency Food Rations (Serranos de Motozintla)

We supported emergency food distribution in 2020 with the Serranos de Motozintla cooperative, reaching 79 coffee growers and 237 families during the pandemic. Resources were directed to meet immediate needs as households faced disruptions to income and daily life.
