ORGANIC TOMORROW SEASONAL PROJECT #1860

The Tomorrow Seasonal Project is designed to work the same way. Though it may just be one small project, we hope it carries momentum for developing farmers across generations. One major hurdle for coffee farmers transitioning to specialty coffee farming is finding a buyer for their new coffee quality.

A lot of these coffees end up purchased at lower prices destined to be included in a blend. The Tomorrow Seasonal Project is designed to target standout coffees from farmers in transition and feature them as single origin releases. When we realized most of these coffees came from certified organic farms, we decided to make the project a permanently certified organic offering.

Many farmers in transition turn to certifications as a way to increase the value of their coffee, and we want to honor that hard work, energy, and investment into their farms. By making Tomorrow Seasonal Project a certified organic offering, we can help promote sustainable models that address both the environment and the business of farming.

CODECH is an acronym for Coordinator of Organizations for the Development of Concepcion Huista, and is composed of 10 different organizations. This group of producers is located in Huehuetenango, one of Guatemala’s most esteemed coffee growing regions, and prized for its high altitude and variety of cultivars. CODECH has a long list of constantly developing goals and provides workshops and educational opportunities for their community members including agricultural and organic workshops, leadership workshops, and women's rights and gender equity workshops.

This special lot comes to us as part of the CODECH communities microlots, composed of coffees from higher elevation farms that average about 0.5 hectares in size. Since it comes from a community of farmers, it comprises Bourbon, Catimor, Caturra, Maragogype, and Pache. This fully washed lot comes to us with tart acidity and balances out with rich sweetness.
