- Honduras Comsa Marcala–citrus start with hints of cherry balanced by an almond-flavored, dark chocolate body with a sweet caramel finish.
- Fresh Roasted to Order Each Morning & Shipped in the Afternoon! This bean is much more lively than what is thought of as a typical Honduran coffee. Unroasted beans for home roasting enthusiasts are always from fresh, harvests imported yearly.
- It is bright, syrupy sweet, and energetic. Honduran coffee usually has a more laid back character than this offering.
- The fragrance of the brewed coffee is reminiscent of almonds and warm caramel with lemon lingering in the finish.
- This is not a heavy coffee, but it has a pleasant intensity and brightness that is memorable.
In the year 2000, 62 Honduran coffee farmers joined together with a common goal to transform their farms from conventional to organic production and formed COMSA (Cafe Organico Marcala, S.A). In 2001, fostered by a foundation called Funder, COMSA earned their organic certification from Bio Latina which has enabled them to market their coffee to more international buyers and realize better selling prices for their coffee. In February 2006, COMSA then applied for and was granted Fair Trade certification status. COMSA uses the Fair Trade price premium to fund many social projects including paying teachers’ salaries and purchasing school supplies. The premium also finances the construction of kitchens in the schools in support of the Merienda Escolar program that provides meals for school children. RhoadsRoast Coffees is proud to support COMSA by purchasing their excellent quality, organic and Fairtrade certified coffee.

Customer Reviews
Excellent coffee…
I'm not a coffee expert, but I do try different coffees with each order. This coffee just doesn't seem very flavorful compared to other coffees I have tried. I use a hand crank, antique burr grinder to grind the beans with each pot or cup. I have adjusted the fineness of the grind, amount per cup and brew strength. I have used both a drip coffee maker and a single cup refillable Keurig coffee maker, but I just don't seem to get as much flavor I prefer. It happens and that's OK.
Good smooth coffee ( med / dark ) roast...not acidy. Would recommend !
This is an updated review for August 2024.
I had the absolute worst experience with RhoadsRoast Coffees & Importers. I recently received a batch of their sale coffee, which turned out to be of horrendous quality. When I contacted customer service, they bombarded me with a long list of technicalities, essentially blaming me for the poor condition of the coffee. This was incredibly frustrating, especially since I've stored their coffee in the original bags on previous occasions without any issues.
I wasn't even asking for a refund or return; I simply wanted some acknowledgment of the issue. Instead, the person I spoke with rudely informed me that they would erase my account as their "resolution." This is by far the most unprofessional and disrespectful customer service I've ever encountered. Avoid RhoadsRoast Coffees & Importers at all costs if you value decent service and quality coffee.
Please see the attached pictures that corroborate low grain quality (size inconsistency, discoloration, and spots, uneven color, flat, dull appearance).
