Puerto Rico

Ciales Mountains

Cafe Chevere

Coffee was introduced to Puerto Rico from Ethiopia in 1736, and has been cultivated in the Ciales Mountains since 1820. Once one of the leading coffee origins in the world, Puerto Rico’s production has fallen off dramatically. These days premium coffee from Puerto Rico is rarely seen abroad.

We’ve managed to procure a couple of lots of Puerto Rican coffee in recent years, but this one is easily our favorite. More than than anything it reminds us of a great Ethiopian natural, with its deep red fruit and chocolate notes, full body and winey acidity. It’s fruit-forward, but possesses a balance and brightness that only the finest naturals can offer. Truly a great and distinctive coffee.

Producer: Cafe Chevere

Region: Ciales Mountains

Varietals: Heirloom Bourbon

Altitude: 2,500 – 2,700′

Processing: Natural

Bright cherry/berry notes. Sweet tobacco, baking spice, dark chocolate. Full, silky body and bright winey acidity, with a long and sweet finish.

San Martin de Pangoa, Central Amazon

Cooperativa Agraria Cafetalera Pangoa

Tucked away in the central Amazon region, just east of the Andean mountain range, you’ll find the Cooperativa Agraria Cafetalera Pangoa (CAC Pangoa) headquarters, serving its members since 1977. The coop has experienced a long and colorful history, underscored with both good and hard times.

CAC Pangoa was founded by 50 farmers from the Satipo region and grew to nearly 1700 members at its peak in the early 1980s. With an internal agreement to set aside 3 percent of every sale for internal investments, members were able to build much of the infrastructure still in use to this day. At that point the future looked very promising. But by the late 1980s, a time commonly known as El Periodo del Terrorismo in the region, the Shining Path had swept through what had been a remarkably peaceful area of Peru killing thousands of innocent people and carrying out a dreadfully effective fear campaign. As a result, CAC Pangoa lost hundreds of farmers who fled to the cities in order to escape the violence. Since that period, CAC Pangoa has slowly regained membership and is now comprised of some 700 members.

CAC Pangoa began encouraging its members to switch to organics through a formalized program of training and documenting practices according to international organic standards. In 2002, they were granted their first organic certification. Today, a majority of their members are either in transition or fully certified organic.

In 2001, they received FLO Fair Trade certification. Pangoa quickly established two programs that continue serving members today: 1) the Educational Fund which allows members to borrow up to $2000 (US) to pay for their children’s university fees and 2) the Health Services Fund which offers members interest-free loans of up to $600 (US) to cover any medical attention they might need. In 2008, Pangoa expanded its FT premium project list to include 5 more that cover tree renovation, improving their members’ living standards, developing individual wet processing plants and sun setting over central drying patio drying stations, and covering the funerary costs of any members. With these extra funding projects, Pangoa hopes to better and more broadly meet the needs of its members.

In addition to coffee, Pangoa has promoted economic diversification through cocoa production in lower elevations, honey production, and testing out their market for local roasted coffee sales. Since 2009, Pangoa has been promoting local ecotourism projects in their communities to supplement the family income.

“With the Fair Trade price we hope to increase our organic production so that we can improve and conserve the soil and subsequently increase our productivity, says Esperanza Dionisio Castillo, CAC Pangoa, General Manager. “With increased revenue from Fair Trade sales, we plan to improve all technical aspects of our production.”

This cooperative is clearly involved in the lives of its members beyond the purchasing and selling of their coffee; Pangoa provides an exemplary model of the power of small-farmer cooperatives within Fair Trade.

Cerro Azul is one of the Cohorsil cooperative’s regional blend qualities. The coffee is produced on various smallholder farms in the mountains that border the town of Siguatepeque, in the Montecillos mountain range. The beans are dried in drying tunnels, where the temperature can be controlled to stay between 40 and 50°C. The producers bring their harvest down from the plantations to one of Cohorsil’s central wet mills, where they can have their cherries processed.

The wet mills are equipped with large drying patios and drying tunnels to be able to process all local associates’ coffee. From the wet mills, the coffee moves down to the dry mill. Here, the beans rest in the warehouse for six weeks, before being hulled, graded and prepared for export. Cerro Azul is mix of the 4 varieties commonly found across Honduras: Caturra, Catuai, Typica and Pacas.

COHORSIL cooperative is located in the lush valley and municipality of Siguatepeque, in the central Honduran highland department of Comayagua. The area is known as one of Honduras’ biggest fruit and vegetable producing areas, thanks to the mild climate and ample rainfall. Favorable winds coming from the nearby Calanterique forest and Montecillos mountain range to the north range keep the temperature down in the dry and hot season from February to May. The rainy season runs from May to November, which is followed by a cooler period up to February.

The Cohorsil cooperative operates in the central, eastern and western regions of Honduras. Their technical staff is spread over the various regions to better provide support to the cooperative members. In total, Cohorsil has 6 wet mills, one per region they operate in. They also own their own dry mills, equipped with all infrastructure needed to clean and grade the beans, and to prepare them for export.

The cooperative provides loans, sustainability training, technical support and agricultural services to its members. With the entire support package Cohorsil offers to its associates, they aim at improving production and quality, and to get higher returns for the producing communities. Cohorsil also offers seeds of various vegetables to diversify the producers’ production so they aren’t entirely dependent on the coffee market for their income. The cooperative also takes care of marketing its members’ coffees and to fetch good prices in the international market, in accordance with the quality.
