    Specialty grade, single-varietal, natural process, Java coffee beans produced by Los Pinos Organic Farm from Matagalpa, Nicaragua. Dark roasted using 100% renewable energy by coffee artist Praveen in our single-use plastic-free roasting studio on Vancouver Island. It is a Certified Climate Wave Coffee which helps capture 300g of greenhouse gases per cup of coffee. Since coffee tasting is subjective, we strive for inclusivity. Our community of coffee drinkers tasted this coffee and contributed their tasting notes as nutty, chocolaty, easy on the palate with syrupy brown sugar and sweet aftertaste.

      We were in India between the end of 2019 and the middle of 2022, understanding the social and environmental injustices currently happening in the Global Coffee Value chain from the perspective of farmers and farm workers. As soon as we came back to Vancouver Island, we began our search to find some delicious coffees for us to enjoy. That's when we found Fix Coffee Roasters selling coffee beans from Byron Corrales of Los Pinos Organic Farm at Esquimalt Farmers Market. We loved the taste of it, but we wanted to know whether the coffee is climate-friendly or not. So we did our research and got in touch with Sara Corrales, daughter of Byron Corrales, via email. We were so happy to learn about their commitment to protecting the forest through sustainable farming techniques. Coffees from Los Pinos Organic Farms are grown under the shade of trees in a biodiversity-rich forest environment. They offer certified-organic coffees, and they don't pollute the river streams. This makes their coffee Certified Climate Wave Coffee, and they help capture 300g of greenhouse gases per cup of coffee. Soon after, Sara introduced us to Ryan of La Finca Distribution. Unlike many commercial distributors, Ryan doesn't keep secrets about the origin and works hard to help specialty coffee producers of Nicaragua reach Canadian roasters. Everything worked out well, and we are now able to roast Los Pinos Organic Farm's Certified Climate Wave Coffee and sell it to our supporters like you.

We honor and respect the rich history, cultural heritage, and ongoing contributions of the Indigenous communities who have stewarded this land for generations. We are committed to learning, listening, and standing in solidarity with these Nations as we continue our operations on this sacred land. We also express our gratitude to the Old Growth Trees that once stood strong, supporting the livelihood of humans and animals, before being sacrificed to create space for our present-day operations. We are privileged to inherit the genetic gifts from our elders who protected our culture, revered nature, and harnessed the benefits of biodiversity and forest.
