Finca Humana (the Human Farm) is the first thing you will hear about Cafe Organico Marcala, S.A. (COSMA) if you make your way to visit this cooperative in Marcala, Honduras. What makes it so good? The fundamentals: traceability to the Marcala region, which is a protected designation of origin (DENOMINACION DE ORIGEN CAFE DE MARCALA); meticulous post-harvest hand sorting of the cherry; cherry floating to remove less dense beans; proper fermentation; long drying times; and a healthy dose of the COSMA philosophy and training.
