Season 4, Ep 5: The People, Purpose, and Coffees of COMSA
In this episode, Royal Coffee’s Richard Sandlin and Charlie Habegger take us to Marcala, Honduras, to explore the remarkable work of COMSA (Café Orgánico Marcala, S.A.), one of Royal Coffee’s longstanding producer partners. Drawing on their firsthand experiences visiting the cooperative, Richard and Charlie discuss COMSA’s commitment to regenerative agriculture, soil health, education, and community development, and how these investments have helped the cooperative grow while creating new opportunities for its members. They also take us behind the scenes of Royal Coffee’s microlot sourcing process, highlighting the arrival of new single-producer coffees from COMSA and the people, processing methods, and distinctive cup profiles that make them worth exploring. From organic farming and community initiatives to exceptional Honduran green coffees, this conversation is a celebration of what long-term partnerships can make possible.
