A Cooperative Effort
This coffee is grown on the slopes of Volcán Tacaná at 1400-1500 MASL. Containing a medley of Typica, Bourbon, Marsellesa, and Costa Rica 95 varietals, we roast this origin to highlight its notes of Bakers Chocolate, Clove, Sage, Salted Caramel. It's our darkest roast, so if you're a traditional coffee drinker that appreciates the bolder side of coffee, this one's for you.
In 2017, CREDO's founder (Ben Hoyer) traveled to Chiapas to meet José Verdugo, the chairman of the Productores Organicos del Tacaná Cooperative, and see the way that direct trade coffee improves the quality of lives in the villages where he works. Jose organizes local efforts between the Rainforest Alliance, Heifer International, Toks, and the Mexican government. Together, they collaborate to improve the quality of life for coffee farmers and the quality of their coffee production. We are proud to have been the first to bring their beautiful coffee to the states and are excited to continue to support their work.
