This Honduras coffee is a piece of caffeinated sorcery! From the CCS Rise Series, this lot is both sweet and rich-tasting with an energy all its own. Farmers here have the potential to craft even better quality, so the purchase of this cup is a vote for creative innovation. Plus, it's just an amazingly delightful cup of coffee magic we here at the BCR HQ have been swooning over it! CCS Rise Series coffees are sweet, clean and rich in attributes, and they are cultivated by farmers who have the potential to produce even better quality. We think of them as tomorrow’s 86 coffees. Depending on the volume, they are offered as single-estate lots, or carefully curated regional blends. CCS will support these producing communities by purchasing larger volumes and paying fair prices for these coffees. This won’t be the price we pay for an 86, but it will be well above the local price. This price premium will help coffee growing communities in their quest to improve quality. THE RELATIONSHIP We were introduced to these RISE Series producers by our good friends and exporters, San Vicente, based in Peña Blanca, the closest city to almost all the farmers we work with in Honduras. San Vicente has been an invaluable partner to us, helping the development process of our relationships with the farmers with whom we work, introducing us to new potential partners, providing milling & logistic services, and actively working together with farmers on new strategies to improve farm-level practices to improve cup quality each year.
