Regenerative Organic Blend

Regenerative Organic Blend iscrafted with coffees grown using regenerative farming practices that help heal the earth. This seasonally evolving blend supports a farming method that revitalizes soil health, promotes biodiversity, and combats climate change.

This current iteration features a fully washed coffee produced by members of La Prosperidad de Chirinos, a coffee growers’ cooperative in northern Peru’s San Ignacio province, part of the renowned Cajamarca growing region. Stretching to the Ecuadorian border, Cajamarca is nestled in the Andes—the world’s longest mountain range. Since its inception in 1968, Chirinos has grown from 36 to over 700 members, some of whom have been with the cooperative since the beginning. The organization works to improve its members’ quality of life through education, sustainability initiatives, food security programs, and land diversification. This coffee forms the foundation of Regenerative Organic Blend, offering sweet flavors of nuts and molasses.

To complement the Peru coffee, we’ve added a naturally processed coffee from members of Cooperativa Escuela Modesto Armijo (PROCAFE), located in San Juan del Río Coco in Nicaragua’s Madriz department. Founded in 2011, PROCAFE supports local farmers by promoting their coffees and offering training and access to markets. Today, the cooperative has 165 members, including 56 women. Natural (or dry) processing allows the coffee cherries to dry intact on the beans, producing a fruit-forward flavor profile. Though it makes up a smaller portion of the blend, this coffee contributes cherry notes and a rich body to the Regenerative Organic Blend.

A relatively new and all encompassing certification, Regenerative Organic Certified®, combines aspects of both Organic and Fair Trade certifications.

Climate change is disproportionately affecting the tropical and subtropical regions where coffee is grown:

- 50% of global land area suitable for coffee production may be lost by 2050 due to climate change

- 60% of coffee species are considered at high risk of extinction

- 25M smallholder coffee growers are at risk of losing their primary source of income due to declining coffee yields

Regenerative agriculture--a practice of holistic farming where everything is seen as interconnected and vital--can build resilience to mitigate the effects of climate change and protect the future of coffee and our planet. ROC® was established in 2017 to promote holistic agriculture practices in an all-encompassing certification that champions three pillars:

1. Soil Health & Land Management
2. Animal Welfare
3. Farmer & Worker Fairness
