    Specialty grade, mountain water decaf process coffee beans produced by Café Orgánico Marcala S.A. Cooperative from Montecillos, Honduras. Light 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, using Sustainable Coffee Passport, as sweet, fruity, and orange candy.

      After setting up our roasting studio, we were presented with a consulting opportunity to help expand Green Cuisine Victoria's operations by adding a roastery cafe operation. However, we faced a challenge: we lacked a climate-positive decaf coffee that met our high standards for specialty coffee. That's when we came across Café Orgánico Marcala S.A. Cooperative (COMSA) of Honduras, thanks to David of Birds and Beans. We were impressed by David's thorough answers to our questions about the climate-friendliness of his coffees. Following a detailed conversation, we discovered another Certified Climate Wave Coffee to add to our selection. This decaf coffee from COMSA is cultivated in a forest environment with diverse layers of vegetation, supporting rich biodiversity. Their organic farming practices prevent water pollution and ensure fair trade, guaranteeing equitable prices for all cooperative producers.

    We gratefully acknowledge that we currently live, play, and work on the unceded traditional territory of the Lekwungen-speaking peoples, known as the Songhees and Esquimalt Nations. 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.
