Cafe Solar®; Our Flagship Green Coffee that is Addressing Climate Change Coffee
For the past 25 years, we’ve been busy helping build a model for sustainable coffee production. The result is our flagship coffee, Cafe Solar®.
This coffee’s sustainable supply chain includes clean, solar-powered coffee processing, Integrated Open Canopy (IOC)® coffee farms (see below), organic growing conditions, and women management of the entire coffee production.
Cafe Solar® is a partnership program, and our partners include both the women-managed Cafe Solar® coffee cooperative and the Mesoamerican Development Institute (NGO responsible for engineering the solar coffee-drying technology and establishing the IOC® coffee farms).
