This is a coffee from Peru or Honduras depending on the season, always with flavors of caramel, nougat and red apples.
The coffee comes one half of the year from the Incahuasi cooperative in Peru, and the other half of the year from the Comicovel cooperative in Honduras. We usually change origins at the end of spring, and later around the beginning of December and that way we can always have coffee in the bag that is in season and tastes fresh. The season differs between the producers because the cooperatives are located about 350 kilometers from each other on different sides of the equator. Both cooperatives are certified Fairtrade and organic. The coffee consists mainly of the varieties caturra, pacas, typica and bourbon, all of which are processed according to the washed method.
Incahuasi, Peru
We have been buying coffee from Incahuasi since 2016. The cooperative is located in the Cusco region in southern Peru and was founded in 2005. The fact that the cooperative is located in valleys rather than high up in the mountains says a lot about the altitude. The plantations are located here at an altitude of between 1,700 and 2,300 meters above sea level, and it takes many hours by car to get there. Thanks to their inaccessibility, the plantations have been spared most of the coffee diseases that are increasingly spreading around the world.
Today, the cooperative has 480 members, all of whom work hard to gradually improve quality. Among other things, they have invested in drying beds and equipment to be able to process the coffee better. For a few years now, the cooperative has also been producing microlots from individual producers that are sold separately. This creates incentives for everyone to produce better coffee and thus get better pay.
Comicovel, Honduras
We started buying coffee from Comicovel in 2022. The cooperative was founded in 2016 as part of the Blue Harvest project, which focused on improving forest management and using water resources more efficiently. The project brought together a group of ambitious producers in the Opalaca region, who decided to form a cooperative.
The otherwise dry landscape has been transformed by agroforestry, which helps conserve soil moisture and allow coffee trees to thrive. The area, about 30 kilometers west of Tegucigalpa in western Honduras, is home to farms that range from 1,400 to 1,800 meters above sea level.
Today, the cooperative has over 200 members who remain focused on sustainable forestry and water use, while working to improve the quality of their coffee. They are organic and FairTrade certified, produce and separate microlots, and have invested in raised drying tables to refine their process.
