guatemala ccda – comite campsino del altiplano

organic & fair trade plus

Guatemala CCDA Lake Atitlan is a special coffee; Oso Negro has been working directly with these amazing people for more than 10 years and have watched as they grown in all manners, from production volume to cup quality.  As the biggest importer of CCDA coffee in Canada, Oso is committed to the radical social change that the CCDA invests in.  From bursary programs to educate their youth (and train them to be lawyers and agronomists), to recycling wastewater and producing their own fertilizer, to purchasing more land for the purposes of coffee cultivation and community food security, the CCDA does amazing things.  This fine coffee is found in almost everything we do with the exception of decaf and 2 of our more than 14 blends.  In this way, your love of coffee and support for Oso Negro  directly affects the lives of more than 50000 families in the highlands of Guatemala.
