About COMSA Co-op of Honduras
Often, blends are comprised of coffees from different countries or growing regions, but Artist Blend is an all Honduran combo sourced from growers belonging to the COMSA co-op. Organic and Fair Trade, it is unique in yet another way, because One Village Coffee roasts it in two separate batches, one medium roast, and the second, dark roast.Blended together, the result is a #1 best seller.
Coffee is in many ways a labor of love for those that grow it; hands tend, prune, and pick the beans, and hearts hope for a better quality of life. In 2000, 62 smallholders in Honduras who dreamed of producing organic coffee formed COMSA (Café Organico Marcala, S.A.). Their membership continues to grow, and together they’re marketing their certified organic beans internationally, obtaining better prices, and improving their communities and their lives.
