Cafe Rebelde Zapatista Ground Coffee represents a unique intersection of high-quality viticulture and radical social ethics. Grown in the misty mountains of Chiapas, Mexico, by the Tzeltal and Tsotsil indigenous communities, these 100% organic Arabica beans benefit from the rich volcanic soil and high-altitude climate. The traditional shade-grown method ensures a slower maturation of the coffee cherry, which concentrates the natural sugars and creates a smooth, sophisticated cup with a deep, lingering finish.
This coffee is founded on the principles of mutual aid rather than mere charity. By eliminating unnecessary intermediaries, Cafe Rebelde ensures that the maximum value of the harvest remains within the Zapatista cooperatives, funding vital social infrastructure. The result is a clean, honest product—free from chemical residues and exploitative labour practices—that provides a robust, aromatic experience perfect for your daily brewing ritual.

Price of goods and delivery charges
- The prices of the Goods will be as quoted in our formal offer to sell you the Goods (prices on our website, in our printed catalogues or elsewhere may have been superseded).
- We may, by giving you notice at any time before delivery, increase the price of the Goods to reflect any increase in the cost of the Goods that is due to:
- any factor beyond our control (including without limitation foreign exchange fluctuations, increases in taxes, levies, or duties, increases in freight, transport, minimum import price, insurance, landing or warehousing charges, and increases in labour, materials and other manufacturing costs); or
- any request by you to change the delivery date(s), quantities or types of Goods ordered.
- The price of Goods excludes VAT (where applicable) at the applicable current rate chargeable in the UK for the time being.
