Cosautlan, derived from the Nahuatl language meaning "Place of Gold", is one of the oldest and most important coffee-growing regions in Veracruz, Mexico. Unlike many mountainous coffee regions, Cosautlan's gentler terrain allows producers to cultivate slightly larger farms, averaging 3–5 hectares.

The community's remote location presents both challenges and advantages. While access to healthcare and employment opportunities can be limited, the surrounding forests remain remarkably preserved. Coffee producers work closely with the natural environment, growing coffee beneath native shade trees such as banana and ice cream bean trees.
