The coffee:
Our dark roast coffee is named after Trojes, the immense coffee-producing region of Eastern Honduras bordering Nicaragua.
Trojes is a crowd favorite with its smooth, low acidic characteristics and malty flavor that reminds us of sweet pipe tobacco. All of our Adelante beans are grown at 1,200m-1,400m then sent through a washed process before being sun-dried in family-owned solar dryers.
The impact:
We started four middle schools in the communities of Los Angeles, Samaria, El Guanito and El Guano within the Trojes region. As the most difficult communities to access, due to washed-out roads in the winter and dangerous cliffs, students previously had to stop studying after 6th grade.
All of our students in Trojes are the children of smallholder coffee producers.
