Oaxaca’s coffee plantations were founded between 1872 and 1874, when the cochineal (an insect that produces natural color to paint clothes known as crimson dye) harvest began to decline. The inhabitants of the Miahuatlan region started looking for a new product they could harvest. Coffee which had been so successful in the state of Veracruz – was the chosen product, given the climate of Oaxaca’s mountains were very similar, specially around Cero de la Pluma.
