This coffee is produced by the amazing members of the COMSA Coffee Cooperative in and around the municipality of Marcala, Honduras. The holistic cultivation methods employed at COMSA have also enormously helped preserve their coffee in the harsh light of the coffee leaf rust, or roya , epidemic which has devastated coffee crops throughout Central America over the years. COMSA members refer to their commitment to soil health as respecting “The Five M’s”. The Five M’s include: Material- organic manure and compost Microorganisms- fungi, bacteria and microscopic organisms Minerals- volcanic rock and sand Molecules- enzymes, proteins and microflora Matter- grey matter, to be exact, the power of mindfulness! Their cooperative not only has a long tradition of sustainable agricultural production including certifications from nearly every third-party organization, but they are also generous educators in sustainable coffee production. Their cooperative members have helped numerous producers in other origins to lay the groundwork for their own sustainable coffee production.
