A Word About CAPULIN
Your CAPULIN cherries have been hand picked, hand processed and naturally Sun Dried. The dried coffee beans have been rasp milled, winnowed, screened and carefully sorted by hand.They arederived from 100% fully mature, red, ripe and delicious 'Arabica Tipica' coffee cherries.
CAPULIN is the Finest Coffee human effort can produce and as far as we are able to ascertain,
(help us out if someone has knowledge that we are incorrect)
We believe; no other coffee company
in the world is able to make this
incredible claim:
*CAPULIN provides the sweetest, least bitter and most stimulating, socially appropriate, 100% 'Arabica Tipica' coffee available, anywhere and at any price.
CAPULIN provides more money per pound directly to local villagers than any other washed coffee company, in any other Coffee producing nation, on the Planet.
One of the ways is by doubling the price paid by the washed coffee processors to the farmers for their natural forest, shade grown coffee cherries.
CAPULIN goes far beyond the minimum standards established by Fair Trade Coffees!
The CAPULIN EFFORT is an attempt to bring to light the enormous social and environmental problems created by the low labor technology of water-processed coffees.
Regardless whether or not a coffee is; Certified Organic, Shade Grown or 'Fair Trade', if it was processed in water

'We the people Lost'
The real cost of producing a quality product for the consumer, one which preserves the environment and feeds people, (thus the real cost of CAPULIN) is obscured by the mass media propaganda of the unconcerned corporations declaring that the price the consumer is currently paying for their washed coffee products, is 'FAIR'.
IT IS NOT FAIR!
It is not fair to the villagers, not fair to the environment and not fair to the consumer.
The real and important issues for the conscious consumer go virtually un-addressed, if not disguised, by the washed coffee industry.
The real and important issues for the conscious consumer go virtually un-addressed, if not disguised, by the washed coffee industry.
The loss of consumer quality, the environmental destruction, the removal of vital labor incomes of the villagers and the associated social disruption with which the people are forced to contend, is not being considered! This is not good.
Un-addressed is this mass migration of the labor force, all leaving their villages in search of work in order to send food money back to their Families.
Can you imagine the wrenching apart of families because one must make the perilous journey to 'El Norte'. Leaving behind their homes, their partners, their babies, their friends and their customs, just so you can drink a cheap cup of environmentally inappropriate coffee?
Are you real, true green?
Do you believe it is any of these people's desires to cut their trees or leave their Jungle paradises to become some Gringo's immigrant laborer?
Come On Brothers and Sisters!
Washed coffee creates an incredible barrier to social equity, environmental sanity and a good, old fashioned, cup of coffee!
This presentation is our way of sharing views of the non-beneficial effects of floating, fermenting and furnace-drying your coffee, (without your knowledge or understanding of the effects), prior to arriving in your cup, prior to sales to your favorite socially conscious roaster and prior to roasting in their chosen method.
CAPULIN hopes to provide an insight into, how and why, the people upon whose lands the RICHEST agricultural crop in the world is produced, are amongst the POOREST people in the world and exactly how, 'we the consumers', might exercise control over the resulting poverty and devastation.
This is the conscious consumer's finest opportunity to participate in the introduction of a peaceful social structure where the criteria of business, and life, is based upon consumer quality, economic equity, environmental protection and human compassion.

The commonly accepted water processing method is socially disruptive, environmentally destructive and diminishes the virtues of natural, sweet, flavorful, and stimulating coffee.
Keep In Mind!
This is all done solely for the profit of the unconcerned multi nationals in control of the industry, who employ village water supplies, instead of village people for processing.
We believe the uninformed or misinformed consumers who are paying the tab, both figuratively and literally, deserve to know that there is a way to help bring abouta little peaceful balancing and equity in the exchange process allowing a benefit to the environment, to the small farmers and our coffee.

We are just talking about a method of processing which allows all the qualities, of each individual coffee region to be available to the consumer. Even if you didn't really give a damn about the plight of the villagers, capturing a coffee cherry at the height of its perfection, carefully sun drying the sugars into the seed, has got to create the best specimen of that particular coffee's potential.
Additionally, natural processing creates all the equity and environmental considerations on its own, and allows the labor to go back into the villagers and the quality into the coffee. Whatif all the good folks simply stopped voting for a destructive process with their consumer dollars?
We Must Realize!
If we can direct a little of the cash flow back into the hands of the people, it is not as likely that they leave their homes or cut their trees or sell their land. Maybe the birds would replenish themselves?
What if the people have your money? This is where our dollars really count.
CAPULIN doesn't want to sell the whole world 'natural' coffee, but we want the whole world to buy natural coffee.
(it's OK to start with ours though)
