This is our second year carrying a coffee from the Cooperativa de Caficultores de Dota, and certainly won’t be the last. This astoundingly clean natural process coffee offers the vibrant acidity of green apple and blackberry with the mellow sweetness of salted caramel. These flavors perfectly combine into the quintessential Fall coffee.

The Cooperativa de Caficultores de Dota, established in 1960, has a first of its kind carbon neutral mill which features hydro-powered energy consumption, water efficient eco-pulpers, and mechanical coffee driers fueled by coffee parchment. CoopeDota also has an intricate model of income diversification for its members, with a profitable agriculture supply store and tourism department dedicated to showing off coffee farms to visitors. They also roast their own coffee and operate three cafes and a cupper/barista training center. Their commitment to the environment also extends to the community of Santa Maria de Dota where the cooperative manages trash pickup for the entire town.
