Regenerative Organic Blend

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

This iteration is built around a fully-washed coffee produced by members of Cooperativa de Servicios Múltiples Sacaclí, a non-profit organization established in 1994 by producers of the Sacaclí community in the Jinotega region of Nicaragua. The group focuses on self-sustainable development, the continuous improvement of the quality of life for its members, and gender equity. Currently, Cooperativa Sacaclí has 537 members, of which 93 are women. This coffee is the foundation of the blend and contributes sweet, nutty, and citrus flavors to the blend

We then added a natural, or dry processed coffee produced by members of Cooperativa Escuela Modesto Armijo (PROCAFE), located in the municipality of San Juan del Río Coco in the Madriz department of Nicaragua. Established in 2011, the group was created to promote the coffees produced in the area and provide training and market access to the coffee growers in the community. Currently, PROCAFE has 165 members, of which 56 are women. Natural, or dry processed coffee is left to dry with the coffee cherry fully intact on the beans, resulting in a fruit-forward flavor profile. While used in a relatively small percentage in this blend, the impact on the blend’s flavor is apparent.

A relatively new and all encompassing certification, Regenerative Organic Certified® (ROC®), 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
