Xalala

Roaster

My name is Michael Würzner and I discovered specialty coffee in 2013, during a trip to the state of Oaxaca in Mexico. Since this experience, coffee quickly became my passion and I started taking classes and studying everything related to coffee. So much so that after a few years of thinking about it, I decided to leave diplomacy to found my coffee roasting company. By founding Xalala, my goal was to create a company and products based around the notions of quality, simple joy and ecological and social responsibility. Connecting and sharing my passion from one end of the chain to the other, be it with producers or customers, is a central aspect at Xalala. This is probably also one of the reasons why I decided to settle in the heart of the Valais, in the middle of the vineyards, in a house that also brings together other lovers of the terroir, because it is a land of passion that fits perfectly with Xalala.

Citlatl Cafen

Farmers and cooperative

The Citlatl Cafen coffee cooperative represents a group of Mexican farmers who came together to confront the inequities of today’s coffee industry in a very remote and overlooked rural region in the mountains of Veracruz. Ixpaluca is the name of the very small town located in the coffee-growing area of the Sierra de Zongolica. This is a remote and isolated region, home to the Nahuatl indigenous population, who still preserve their ancestral cultural identity. The area is entirely rural, with a peasant lifestyle and deeply rooted agricultural traditions centered on a sustainable food production system.
