Ñuu Davii is grown by indigenous Mixtec farmers in San Juan Coatzóspam, located in the mountainous Sierra Flores de Magón region of Oaxaca. Coffee has long been a part of daily life in these communities, maintained through careful cultivation and shared local knowledge. Many producers also grow milpa - traditional polycultures of corn, beans, squash and chilli - providing additional income, food supplies and supporting long-term soil health.
The name Ñuu Davii means “People of the Rain” in the Mixtec language, reflecting both the identity of the producers and the landscapes they farm. The community of San Juan Coatzóspam traces its origins back to the 16th century, when Mixtec families migrated into the Sierra Mazateca and established a settlement that remains culturally distinct to this day. This coffee has been sourced through a developing partnership with importers Ensambles, who have established local supply chains and infrastructure in nearby Huautla de Jiménez to bridge the gap between these isolated communities and global specialty markets. They offer farmers training in sustainable agriculture and management to aid quality, providing them greater visibility and improved economic security.
