SIP BACK AND RELAX
In a mellow mood? Kick back and slurp down this easy-going coffee, with its comforting notes, its warm silky body, and a muted acidity flickering in the backdrop like a cosy fire. We enjoy this coffee most on cafetière, but comfort comes in all forms, so give flexible coffee a try on any brewing method and the results will be nicely consistent.

MORE ABOUT THE PRODUCER
Established in 2001, as an initiative of a group of 61 coffee producers (12 females and 49 males) with the support of the Fundación para el Desarrollo Empresarial Rural (FUNDER) and a starting capital close to $365. Now integrated by over 1500 farmers, COMSA has grown into a business role model, thanks to the dynamic, responsible and innovative work ethics and vision of its members and workforce. From its foundation, the 61 members of COMSA decided that besides achieving high-quality coffee, their company was going to produce organic coffee and they were going to promote organic agriculture as one of the core principles pillars of their organisation. At the time of their establishment, conventional agriculture which uses chemicals was the most common practise in the region. Following their focus on organic agriculture and high-quality coffee, COMSA presented itself to the international markets and recovered trust from the international coffee buyers and Honduran coffee producers.
COMSA (Café Orgánico Marcala S.A.), a forward-thinking coffee cooperative based in Marcala, Honduras, is deeply committed to supporting its producers and their families. A portion of the cooperative’s sales is dedicated to funding a school that provides education for the children of its members. This school goes beyond traditional academics, offering a holistic education that emphasises personal development, environmental sustainability, and community values. By investing in education, COMSA not only empowers the next generation but also ensures a brighter future for the entire community. Every cup of COMSA coffee contributes directly to this transformative initiative, making a meaningful impact with every sip.
