Kinetic Koffee Special Roast Feature: HONDURAS FTO CAPUCAS
At Kinetic Koffee, we always strive to conduct business in a way that is consistent with our values. We purchase only Certified Organic coffee beans, and we purchase from farms owned and operated by minority groups such as women and family owned businesses. Our coffees are always naturally shade grown and we search for farms utilizing environmentally sustainable practices. You can taste the difference in the first sip.

The cooperative represents an estimated 12 communities from the municipalities of San Pedro and Corquin, in Copan. Together, they work to promote the sustainable development of their local economy, reducing poverty and increasing standards of life for their community. They have benefited approximately 5,000 people in Las Capucas and surrounding regions. Members are dedicated to growing sustainable conventional, organic and Fair Trade coffees. The cooperative’s General Assembly, which manages the democratic use of the Fair Trade premium, is comprised of 10 members, nine of whom are women.
