The Story
In the year 2001, 61 Honduran coffee farmers (12 females and 49 males) joined together with a common goal to transform their farms from conventional to organic production in order to produce high quality coffee and thus formed COMSA co-operative (Cafe Organico Marcala, S.A). This specialty coffee is grown in the area of Marcala, which is located in the mountain range of Montecillos, at heights between 1,200 – 1,700 masl.

The natural process starts from the moment the ripe coffee cherries are hand-picked by the local farmers. Then they deliver the cherries to COMSA’s central wet mill and the team there selects the best-looking cherries. Afterwards the cherries with red wine like colour are placed in a clean tank filled with water, where they rest for 24 hours to hydrolyse the beans inside the cherries. Once the coffee is hydrolysed, it is packed inside clean polypropylene sacks and transported to the patios or raised beds where they are sun-dried for 12 to 24 days, depending on weather conditions.

Our team got ecstatic with the excquisite taste of this unique and rare coffee and they already knew they had found the next coffee that would complete our latest Single Estate selection.

Process: Anaerobic Honey
Roasting: Medium
Cupping Notes: Orange Blossom, Cherry, roasted Almonds
Acidity: 7
Sweetness: 7
Body: 5
Aftertaste: 5

The Story
This coffee is collected from small farmers and milled by Kerchanshe washing station in Sidama region of Ethiopia. A few words about the process: The beans go through the honey process and are then put in plastic barrels where all water and oxygen is removed. The barrels are sealed and the beans are left to ferment (NO YEAST is added) for around 36 hours (*anaerobic fermentation process). The plastic barrels expand to a level where the growers can tell that the process is complete.
Once removed, the coffee is pulped and taken to dry on raised beds. The beans are then turned more frequently to dry to desired level.
*Anaerobic fermentation is a low-temp, controlled process that breaks down sugars & elevates fruit acids for a greater perceived sweetness, yielding a silky mouthfeel with bouquets of floral aromatics & hand-picked berry sweetness.
