alWe’re delighted to share this coffee from El Equimite, a remarkable farm in Veracruz, Mexico, led by Gibrán Cervantes. Gibrán combines traditional farming knowledge, biodiversity and deep respect for the land to grow expressive coffees while protecting the ecosystem they depend on.
Meet the producer: Gibrán Cervantes
Gibrán is coming to London. Come and meet him at Caravan Roastery on Thursday 12 November, 5.30pm.
El Equimite
El Equimite is what Gibrán calls an “edible forest”: a living farm where coffee grows beneath the native canopy alongside fruit trees, medicinal plants, wildlife and a natural lake. It’s one of the few Demeter-certified biodynamic coffee farms in the world, managed as a connected, living system. Its cool, misty cloud forest climate slows cherry maturation, developing the sweetness, clarity and complexity we love in the cup.
Ensambles
Gibrán’s work also extends beyond his own farm. Through Ensambles, a project he founded, he brings producers together to share knowledge, strengthen communities and explore more sustainable ways of farming. His aim is not just exceptional coffee at El Equimite, but a more resilient future for coffee across Mexico, showing how quality and sustainability can grow together.
