La Chiapaneca

Coffee with a direct connection to its origin

La Chiapaneca began in Barcelona in 2019 with a focus on specialty coffee from Mexico. The cooperative now works with small producers and cooperatives in Mexico and Peru, presenting each coffee by origin and emphasizing traceability, long-term relationships, and the people who grow it. The result is a coffee business whose story starts in the producing communities rather than at the retail counter.

The beans are roasted in Barcelona, and the selection includes coffees from regions such as Veracruz and Chiapas in Mexico and San Martín in Peru. Customers can explore the coffees online or visit the cooperative’s stand in the Les Tres Torres market in the Sarrià–Sant Gervasi district, where the offering also includes selected chocolates and gourmet goods. That market setting makes the visit a useful stop for people who want to buy beans and learn what distinguishes one origin from another.

A small cooperative with a broader purpose

La Chiapaneca presents its model as a way to support small producers while bringing Latin American coffee to customers in Spain and Europe. Its selection changes by lot and availability, so the most rewarding approach is to ask what is currently being roasted and where it comes from. For coffee drinkers, the appeal is a chance to choose by origin and flavor profile; for Barcelona visitors, it is a more focused encounter with coffee than a standard café menu offers.
