Cafe Imports wants to congratulate Helsar de Zarcero on being first micromill with a CCA Certification!

From CCA:

We are proud to announce the 1st. micro mill to be certified CCA (Climate Change Action) by Control Union Certifications:

Helsar de Zarcero Micro mill, Llano Bonito de Naranjo, West Valley Region, COSTA RICA.

Definitely, Helsar de Zarcero is an example to the world of coffee, about how a small company is taking responsibility and actions to measure and compensate its carbon footprint, in a region highly vulnerable to climate change such as Central America.

Therefore, the fact of having a Direct Trade Relationship with Helsar creates a system of climatic solidarity, between you and Helsar de Zarcero Micro mill contributing both towards carbon compensation and environmental investment.

Cafe Imports is proud to say that we have imported over 20 different microlots from Helsar this year, and the outlook for next year is looking even more optimistic.  You guys loved these lots, and they moved out of our warehouse very quickly.  We do however still have one lot of Helsars left, ID P2618.

Congrats Helsar!
