By pooling resources across multiple communities, producers share processing infrastructure and bring their coffee to market together as a single traceable lot. Farms sit between 900 and 1,500 meters above sea level, and the region's indigenous Zapotec communities have been farming this land for generations. The collective grows a mix of Typica, Garnica, Mundo Novo, and Sarchimor varieties.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCherries are harvested between February and March. After a short rest in cherry, the coffee is fermented in tanks, washed, then dried on patios and rooftops. This washed process strips back fruit skin and pulp before drying, which tends to produce a cleaner, more structured cup. Fernwood sources this lot in collaboration with Azahar Coffee, a Colombian-based green coffee company that focuses on traceable community lots and consistent processing standards across Mexico and Latin America. That relationship gives Fernwood a direct line to how the coffee is handled from farm through export.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe community lot model matters here. Smallholder farmers in rural Oaxaca often work plots too small to process and market coffee independently. By consolidating the harvest across villages, Grupo Sector Tanetze gives its producers access to better infrastructure and a more stable path to market. The result is a coffee that reflects what that collective effort can produce: steady, consistent, and carefully handled at every step.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout Fernwood\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFernwood was started in 2007 by Ben and Terra, who came from backgrounds in restaurant hospitality before buying Parsonage Café in Victoria, BC. The café came with a 1936 Barth roaster in the back, and what began as a curiosity became the core of the business. Their restaurant experience shaped how they approached coffee: with the same attention to consistency and care you'd expect from a well-run kitchen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom early on, Fernwood focused on making quality coffee accessible rather than exclusive. That approach was put to the test when they won the Canadian Barista Championship, showing that everyday approachability and high standards can coexist. Many of their team members have grown into senior roles from entry-level positions, which speaks to how the business has been built over time: steadily, and with the same people.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"Fernwood is a roaster you'll see all over Reddit as being one of BC's best. I asked to try their coffee, and now I get what all the hype is about. I bought a few extra bags of Manos al Grano for my stash at home.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e- Dean, Director of Coffee\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fernwood","offers":[{"title":"5 lb","offer_id":45559216799804,"sku":"B2B-fernwood-mexico-grupo-sector-tanetze-2268","price":146.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0677\/2880\/1852\/files\/SingleOrigins_MexicoGrupoSectorTanetze_Web_Front-01.jpg?v=1781805476","url":"https:\/\/stillwatercoffee.ca\/products\/b2b-fernwood-mexico-grupo-sector-tanetze","provider":"Stillwater Coffee Club","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
