An innovative Micro-mill in Xico, Veracruz, Mexico, operated by husband and wife, Samuel and Gloria Ronzon, utilizing modern scientific technique with sophisticated regenerative farming practices.

Samuel Ronzon is a third-generation coffee producer based in Veracruz, Mexico. He operates La Joya Micro-mill, in tandem with his wife Gloria, a PhD candidate in Ecology and Biotechnology Sciences. Their focus is on the production of intentionally fermented specialty coffees, using fermentation as a vehicle to drive flavour in the cup.

 

"Our farm is located in the High Mountains Region in the center of the state of Veracruz, Mexico, in the municipality of Ixhuacán de los Reyes. The average elevation is 1420 meters above sea level, which together with its location north of the continent on the 19th parallel, makes the climate temperate average of 17 ° C and an average annual rainfall of 1,650 millimeters.
The ecosystems that coexist in the region are the Pine-Oak Mountain Forests and mainly the Niebla (cloud forest) or Mesophilic Forest, one of the most biodiverse and threatened on the planet.


Our desire for quality has led us to establish up to 20 varieties of coffee. Which are distributed by well-established and georeferenced lots, to maintain punctual management in the needs of each variety. Following our agroecological principles, our farm is constantly redesigned with a diversified shade with fruit trees (avocado, lemon, orange, macadamia, peach, passion fruit, lychee), timber (oak, pine, sweetgum, cedar) and other native trees, to ensure better microclimatic conditions and ecosystem functioning, thus contributing to the environmental conservation of the region, safety and food sovereignty always with respect for the community in general."
