About Us
The Chiapaneca - Cooperative
We are a social impact cooperative, suppliers of specialty coffee under our own brand with an online store since 2019 in Barcelona, Spain.
Since our beginnings we have always sought to offer good, quality coffees, always respecting Mother Earth from the source. Conscious of the environment, fair work, respect for coffee growers and the marketing of their coffee. We aim to promote Mexico's specialty coffee, working with small producers with high biocultural value.
La Chiapaneca is a small but really COOL cooperative!
As a cooperative we are always looking for new collaborators or partners. If you are interested, do not hesitate to contact us and we will tell you more about our project.

2018
In 2018, we began a marketing study in Spain. We saw a great need to market, disseminate, and educate consumers about the need for good Mexican coffee and to value the work of coffee growers in the regions more.
2019
After a year of business studies, we started 2019 with great enthusiasm our project as a cooperative and distributor of specialty coffee with an online store. The beginning was hard because shortly after the first crisis arrived, the COVID19 pandemic. It was very difficult for us to enter the Spanish market.
2020
At the beginning of 2020 and still in lockdown, we began to open a larger market in Spain, collaborating with other brands and thus positioning ourselves better. This year we also began to open a new market in Europe.
2021 - 2024
From 2021 until today, we have positioned our La Chiapaneca brand and coffee in different points of sale in Europe (Spain, Germany, France, Sweden, Belgium, Switzerland and Romania).
Clients who share our philosophy and always strive to win new hearts around the world.
