Honduras "Yojoa"
This organic and fairly traded coffee
is grown in the Yojoa Lake region at an elevation of
around 2200
ft. The lake is very unique as it was formed naturally
in an extinct volcanic field with a surface area of 110
sq. miles. The rich volcanic soils and weather
conditions in the lake region are ideal for
Arabica coffee
production.
The coffee is produced by the 400 members of
the Regional Agricultores Organicos de la Sierra (ROAS)
cooperative which consists of 55% women.
The first container of this coffee to ever hit the US
market was released in 2004.
The cup is rich, full bodied, and has
a very smooth finish.
About this
certified coffee: Each bag has a certified paper trail leading back
to the ROAS cooperative, confirming that the coffee was
grown organically and responsibly, and the
farmers received fair wages for their hard work.
