This Fair Trade Organic decaf coffee is from the La Paz region of Honduras, grown at 1,295-1,699 meters altitude. Produced by COMSA (Cafe Organico Marcala, S.A), a cooperative of 62 farmers who converted to organic production in 2000 and received Fair Trade certification in 2006. The coffee is fully washed and sun-dried. Decaffeinated using the Mountain Water Process, which uses only natural mountain spring water to extract caffeine without chemicals. Dark roast with flavor notes of chocolate brownie, almond, and a hint of lemon.
Douglas Pinto and his wife Daria founded Steel Cup Coffee Roasters as a family business in New Kensington, Pennsylvania. The roastery sources exclusively Fair Trade and USDA Certified Organic coffees from ethical cooperatives around the world, and their facility holds Pennsylvania Certified Organic status. All coffee is roasted in small batches on a roaster imported from Türkiye and packaged to order, with eco friendly compostable bags and only USDA approved organic cleaning products used throughout the facility. Steel Cup is a roastery where the values are baked into the operation rather than bolted on.
