Cooperativa de Productores de Café la Encarnación Limitada (COPROCAEL) is comprised of a cooperative group of approximately 100 producers that formed in 2000. The farms are in the mountainous region of Western Honduras bordering both Guatemala and El Salvador. Through years of composting and vermiculture, the Cooperative has turned what was previously unproductive, dry land into beautiful organic farmland.The Royal Select Water Process removes caffeine from the coffee bean without the use of harmful chemicals or byproducts. We are big proponents of this process because it quite seamlessly removes the caffeine and leaves all of the great coffee flavor. Our Organic coffees are certified organic at origin by the National Organic Program (NOP). The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) certifies our Roastery to process 100% Certified Organic coffee through Baystate Organic Certifiers (Winchendon, MA). We strongly support organic agriculture and farming without the use of pesticides, herbicides, synthetic fertilizers.
