Our LENCA coffee is produced by the COMSA cooperative (Café Orgánico Marcala S.A.). It is a blend of Catuai, Caturra, Typica, Bourbon, Pacas, and IHCAFE 90 varieties.
COMSA's approach is based on sustainability. The cooperative supports producers who want to transition from conventional to organic farming, helping them successfully adopt more environmentally friendly practices.
COMSA members regularly receive training in coffee tasting and agronomy. The cooperative also subsidizes schooling for children in the community to support future generations. Marcala is a municipality in the La Paz department in southwestern Honduras. A few years ago, a large cooperative brought together many small producers. When it dissolved, it abandoned all its members, who were left without a processing mill for their coffees. Many of these small producers then decided to join forces and create private cooperatives.
Marcala has a dry and wet mill. Producers process most of their coffees themselves. They buy very little parchment coffee, and when they do, it is only from producers to whom they have provided processing recommendations.
The Marcala designation is characterized by:

• 2,500 producers
  
• 19 municipalities across 3 departments, all with a coffee-growing tradition linked to Marcala
  
• Cultivation at a minimum altitude of 1,100 meters
  
• A distinctive flavor profile, with medium to high acidity, plenty of body, and spicy notes
