Cup profile: This coffee reveals notes of caramel, orange, and peach. It has a very smooth body, harmonious acidity, and a sweetness reminiscent of honey.

Members of the COMBRIFOL cooperative grow their organic coffee in the border region with El Salvador. Largely of the Lenca Indigenous people, they farm plots of 1 to 4 hectares. In addition to coffee, they also grow corn, beans, and fruit. The political history of this border region continues to strongly influence the lives of its residents. It was not until 1992 that this territory was officially separated from El Salvador and assigned to Honduras by court decision. As a result, the Honduran state feels little responsibility for the area, and basic necessities are often lacking.

Enjoy!
