We've roasted this coffee to a very approachable middle ground, in between our medium and dark roasts, velvet, as we like to call it.  It's super smooth and full bodied, the acidity is very mild, and the chocolate notes are prevalent. It's hard not to like. 

We’ve collaborated with this community to design and implement the following initiatives:

  • Reforestation
  • Promoting agroforestry

This Coffee's Story

Our relationship with COMSA is new (2016) but has grown quickly. COMSA is a leader in organic coffee production practices, boasting impressive yields year after year, through their use of organic fertilizers and teaching farmers cultivation standards that prize respecting and collaborating with nature. They have become an industry leader, setting the standard for other cooperatives to follow. We are excited to see what the future holds.

One thing is for sure, this coffee shines. COMSA’s beans are Fair Trade, organic, Smithsonian Bird Friendly Certified (trademark), and grown under shade using biodynamic practices. The “Manos de Mujer” (“Women’s Hands”) collective within COMSA produces the coffee we source, cultivated exclusively by women farmers who reinvest a portion of their profits back into their families and communities. The result is a coffee that is vibrant and balanced, with a smooth body and gentle acidity, offering layers of honey-like sweetness, soft citrus brightness, and a lingering cocoa finish. Aromatic and complex without being overwhelming, this coffee captures both the rich biodiversity of Marcala and the resilient, forward-looking spirit of the farmers who grow it.
