COMICOVEL

Notes: Caramel, Milk Chocolate, Almond, Lemon
Region: Opalaca
Altitude: 1,500 masl
Process: Washed

The silky body and bright acidity of this varietal are reminiscent of the silky yet bright sound of brass horns playing the blues. Think "West End Blues" by Louis Armstrong. Similarly, this bean is sourced from a region with high altitudes and lower temperatures, producing a slow-maturing fruit and denser bean with mellow, vivid notes. This roast has both depth and range. 

Origin Story

The COMICOVEL cooperative—Cooperativa Mixta Cosecha Verde Limitada—in San Juan Intibucá is composed of smallholder producers who farm coffee organically with a focus on overall environmental sustainability. The co-op is the product of Catholic Relief Services’ Blue Harvest Project, which improves agroforestry management on farms throughout Central America and is headed by Geovanny Martinez and with Carlos Guevara acting as a consultant. To date, Blue Harvest has helped 1400 producers transform their farms into ecosystems that protect the forest and its freshwater sources. All producers in the project farm organically.
