Description
In the year 2000, 62 Honduran coffee farmers joined together with a common goal to transform their farms from conventional to
organic production and formed COMSA (Cafe Organico Marcala, S.A). In 2001, fostered by a foundation called Funder, COMSA
earned their organic certification from Bio Latina which has enabled them to market their coffee to more international buyers
and realize better selling prices for their coffee. In February 2006, COMSA then applied for and was granted Fair Trade
certification status. COMSA uses the Fair Trade price premium to fund many social projects including paying teachers’ salaries
and purchasing school supplies. Cupping Notes: Milk Chocolate, Carmel
