The Coffee
Honduras Marcala Community is a coffee shaped by cooperation and a dedication to organic farming. It comes from COMSA (Café Orgánico Marcala Sociedad Anónima), a cooperative founded in 2001 by 69 farmers determined to produce coffee in harmony with the land. Today, with more than 1,200 members, COMSA is recognised as a leader in sustainable agriculture, known as much for its community initiatives as for the quality of its coffee.
Grown in the Montecillos mountain range at altitudes of 1,200 to 1,600 metres, the coffee thrives in rich soils and under the shade of Inga, citrus, and banana trees. This environment encourages slower cherry ripening, protecting biodiversity while enhancing natural sweetness. After harvest, the coffee is carefully washed, a process that brings clarity and balance to the cup.
In the cup, it is smooth and layered. Notes of milk chocolate and brazil nut meet almond, raisin, and gentle stewed fruits, creating a profile that is both comforting and complex. Roasted to a medium profile, it is a versatile all-rounder — best enjoyed as espresso, but equally at home in filter or cafetière.
Mr Higgins Recommends - El Salvador Finca El Ingenio
From the start of our company we sought to achieve positive and meaningful relationships with those who devote their lives to producing quality coffee. Coffee is a difficult product to produce and requires devotion and energy to cope with our changing climate conditions The success of the coffee grower can depend very much on nature and the mercy of the elements.
