Drinking this coffee supports a number of social projects funded by the Pacas family in their local community including a coffee certification program to train the next generation of producers, and also the Power to Transform program that teaches communication skills in local schools, something very important in a community that has been plagued by political violence in the past. “Producing coffee is no easy task. You need to be passionate about it, and we are lucky to have that passion in ourselves.” ~ Maria Pacas.
