CocoMiel’s mission is to bring the finest quality products from Guatemala to the U.S. while sharing its net profits with the original producers. CocoMiel brings the finest quality Guatemalan honey, chocolate, coffee and hand-woven textiles directly to you. In the process of bringing Guatemala’s most exquisite products to the U.S. market, CocoMiel’s added goal is to help the producers increase their income, take care of their families, and remain at home with their families and their farms.

Besides paying producers fair-trade, organic and specialty premiums for their products, CocoMiel sends 100% of its net profits back to the producers through two channels.

First, 50% of our net profits are sent directly back to the producers, which allows producers to share in the higher prices their products command in the U.S. This also creates a deeper connection between our consumers (you) and our producers, as your purchases are as close to a direct payment to these producers as possible.

Second, we choose to donate the remaining 50% of our net profits to The Coffee Trust to support locally driven, community development initiatives in support of the same producers and the same communities where our products come from.

These Coffee Trust projects help producers increase their production and continuously improve the quality of their products. Beyond the commercial benefits that result from these projects, The Coffee Trust also supports organic agriculture, agroforestry, and mitigating the effects of climate change while at the same time capturing carbon from the atmosphere. The Coffee Trust has also provided support for education, health care, food production, and a plethora of other projects that help producers create additional forms of income for themselves.
