About This Coffee

Honduras is Central America's largest coffee producer, and the Marcala region has a Denomination of Origin recognizing its quality potential. COMSA (Cafe Organico Marcala, S.A.) is a well-known cooperative focusing on organic and Fair Trade practices, significantly boosting quality. Coffees from this area often exhibit brighter acidity than typical Central American profiles. Expect notes of cherry or plum, balanced by caramel sweetness and a nutty undertone like hazelnut. The body is typically medium and smooth, with a clean, bright finish.
