HOAC, PAPUA NEW GUINEA

HOAC was founded with the support of their exporter Coffee Connections as well as PNG’s Coffee Industry Corporation, as a way to support community development in the face of limited services in the region, with a particular focus on the PNG’s two development goals of export driven economic recovery and encouraging renewable resources. Have a closer look here at the co-op and the impact of Fairtrade in their community.
 

COCAFCAL, HONDURAS

The Cooperativa Cafetalera Capucas Limitada, commonly known as COCAFCAL or simply, Capucas, was founded by Omar Rodríguez Interiano in 1999 in Las Capucas, western Honduras. The land was purchased by his family over 100 years earlier, primarily for coffee and tobacco production. Once an established coffee producer, Rodríguez decided to share his knowledge with other coffee growers in the region, forming the cooperative.
Today, the organization is made up of 359 small-scale coffee producers, of which 18% are women. Widely known in the coffee industry, COCAFCAL works to promote sustainable development and support the local economy. As a part of their mission, the organization aims to reduce poverty and improve the quality of life in rural communities throughout the region.

Medium Roast

Medium Roast - is both balanced with acidity and sugar. Sugar is more pronounced. Increasingly more popular, starting to see on the high street.

What does it taste like?

It has notes of milk chocolate, marzipan and caramel with a light citrusy acidity.

What is the difference between Dark Roast and Medium Roast?

• The new coffee has been roasted  for less time
• This means less caramelisation of sugars
• Increased sweetness
• Less  acidity
• More Cherry qualities
• Softer
• A completely different tasting experience to our Signature Dark Roast
