Dark Roasts

 

Empresa Cooperative del Sur del CAuca (COSURCA) is composed of 14 farmer associations and coffee cooperatives from four municipalities in Cauca, a mountainous province of southwestern Colombia.  Fair Trade Certified since 2001, COSURCA's members have a strong organization and financial stability.  Subsequently, COSURCA provides an important model for sustainable development in the region.  Currently, the cooperative is focused on providing technical assistance in the areas of quality improvement and capacity-building for its members.  More specifically, the newly formed technical assistance team provides training to members in organic agriculture and ecologically friendly production methods.

This Costa Rica coffee comes from the CoopeAtenas Cooperative and Benificio Diamante mill in the West Valley province of Alajuela. With about 50 square miles dedicated to planting coffee, members have demonstrated their commitment to environmental sustainability by preventing pollution and maintaining a proper usage of natural resources, which has considerably minimized their impact on the environment.

This french roast is decaffeinated using the Swiss Water® Process, an innovative, 100% chemical free method that leaves the natural flavors intact.

Presidio de los Reyes is an indigenous community located about an hour and half drive north of Tepic, Mexico. As natives to the area, to this day they still carry many traditions from the past. The local cooperative, Cerro de los Cuernos, was created on January 22, 2001 and for many years the society was lead by Alberto Flores Vargas. Alberto's son Diego later took charge of the cooperative, which he leads to this day. While all of the farmers live in the town Presidio de los Reyes, their farms are set far back in the mountains and are only accessible by a four hour mule ride.

    

La Llama comes from many small producers and is milled and imported by La Minita but exported from Peru by Prodelsur. One of our best sellers and a customer favorite, this french roast has a big and bold body, a sweet and rustic flavor and pleasant, mild acidity.

    

Not limited solely to French Roast, but also featuring our slightly lighter and deliciously complex Vienna Roasts, recipients will receive Organic, Fair Trade and Farmer Direct coffees as well as our conventional non-certified offerings from around the world. Focusing on the rich caramelized sugar flavors of elegant darker roasts the recipient of this package will have the pleasure of tasting our Espresso offerings as well.
