History:

Manzana is an outstanding single origin green bean of the Catuai variety and it is produced by COMSA, a cooperative nested in the mountains of the Marcala, La Paz. During his first sourcing trip to Honduras, Gerardo visted COMSA and he was presented with close to 10 outstanding coffees including washed and natural processed beans. During the cupping session, Gerardo fell in love with this unique bean. The flavor profile was just remarkable, clean, and crisp. But there was a small problem... Viva was just becoming a reality and this bean was simply out of the price range for what the company could afford. But Gerardo was confident about Viva's mission and said to Don Rodolfo, COMSA's General Manager: "I promise to you that Viva will source this coffee soon". Two years later this promise was fulfilled and we cannot be more excited to share this amazing cup with the world! Welcome to Manzana and Muchas Gracias to COMSA for growing and developing such an amazing bean.
